[Visualpython-users] VPython Hangs

[Flavio C. <fcc...@gm...>]

I have an app which calls vpython to draw a graph. It runs perfectly
on my gentoo box. But On my debian box, (Knoppix) it hangs silently,
when it was supposed to   begin drawing my objects. I have been able
to trace the failure (using Eric's debugger) to line 58 of
primitives.py. Since the bug is apparently in the C++ code. I couldn't
trace it further. The weirdest thing is that all demos run fine on th
debian box...

As far as I could tell the versions of the main packages are the same
on both boxes. The debian box doesn't have hardware GL acceleration
though.


any hints?

Is Knoppix running from CD-ROM, or from a hdd install?

Did you mean that the demos run fine on the Gentoo box, or the demos
work fine on the Debian machine and your program fails?

On the Debian system, does glxgears work (its in the xbase-clients
package)?
