Help - X11 driver not configured for OpenGL

[adamk]

By all accounts, though, your Xserver and drivers are properly configured and setup.

My current theory is that these applications are linking against some replacement libGL.so.1.2 file that's checking to see if your drivers are installed properly and coming to the wrong conclusion. It seems unlikely, but everything else seems unlikely too.

How about 'ldd `which spring`' ?

Sorry, what do you want to say?

[adamk]

I want you to run this command in a terminal: 'ldd `which spring`'

Hmmm.. Now how about 'rpm -qf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1' ?

I had this problem on gentoo. It turned out that my libsdl wasn't built with opengl support.

[david.hilton.p]

Thanks for the note about the use flag for libsdl, it was just what I was looking for. I'm going to add a small note to help with indexing.

EDIT: Okay whatever, I should read the second page before posting any replies :/

Ubuntu has this bug lying around. The solution is: you must download a tarball from http://www.libsdl.org , compile libSDL yourself, and install it over Ubuntu's. This is going to fix it for sure.

[Caradhras]

hi!

yes, it was a problem with the sdl library.
But I do not remember how I solved it ;-)

Thanks anyway!
