[xubuntu-users] OpenGL installation in Ubuntu Linux PC-Problem

[Srinivas Desamsetti]

Dear Sir,
After installing the freeglut software I got an error.
Please give me some directions to solve this problem.

freeglut (./globe_cloud2): Unable to create direct context rendering for window './globe_cloud2'

Thanking you
Sincerely
D.Srinivas

Open the synaptic package manager and click the "search" button. Search 
for freeglut and you will find the packages freeglut3 and freeglut3-dev. 
Right-click on those lines and mark them for installation. Then search 
for mesa and mark the packages you need for installation. I don't know 
exactly which packages you need but on my machine (9.04) I have these 
packages installed: libgl1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-glx, 
libglu1-mesa, libglu1-mesa-dev, mesa-common-dev, mesa-utils. If you 
install more packages than needed it is usually not critical unless you 
have limitations on your download time or disk space. After marking the 
packages for installation, click the "apply" button and synaptic will 
download and install the selected packages.
