Compiling via directions on the wiki. Autogen.sh step fails with this odd OpenGL feature error. How can I fix it?

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks as if you don't have a recent enough version of OpenGL.  What sort of video card do you have, and have you installed the proprietary drivers for it?

[Annorax]

Video card's an ancient 128mb nVidia GeForce 3. Proprietary drivers were just installed two days ago, so I know it's not that.

I do know I'm still running a 2.4.x kernel... do I need 2.6.x?

[taylor]

Kernel version wouldn't matter.  Most likely it's just seeing the default GL libs installed with X (Mesa3D) and not the NVIDIA versions.  Did you use NVIDIA's installer or some other method?  If you used NVIDIA's installer then you might want to install again and see if it can fix the problem automatically.  If you used special packages for your distribution instead then make sure that there isn't a startup script to ready the libs or something.  I know that the Fedora Core NVIDIA drivers (from livna.org) have an init script that must be run before the drivers/libs are actually active.

[Spectre-7]

In case you're using drivers obtained from the Debian repositories, the nVIDIA Linux reference drivers can be found at:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8178.html

These should work with any current distribution (except the just released Fedora Core 5, but I digress).  Installation is as easy as

Code: [Select]

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run
And the installer will step you through the rest of the process.  Apologies if you've already gone through this.
