OpenGL problem

[Simon]

Hello,

I have been trying to install ODE with the demos but I get this
message:

"configure:19002: WARNING: Demos will not be built because OpenGL
doesn't seem to work. See `config.log' for details."

I run:
./configure --enable-double-precision --prefix="/usr/local/ode"

I'm ussing a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10 64bits on an Intel Core
i7 with an ATI (AMD) Mobility Radeon 5000 with the latest drivers from
ADM web site...

I have been able to run other programs with OpenGL like "webots" (I'm
sure that most of you should know it)... but no luck with ODE.

I have tried uninstalling the drivers, installing the one that Ubuntu
Software Centre tell me (a little bit older than the one in AMD site),
but nothing.

Could you help me please, thank you!

Simon.

You are most likely missing the OpenGL development files. For running
programs, having just the dynamic libraries is enough, but for
compiling, you need also headers and some symlinks. For Ubuntu-packaged
drivers, look for a package with similar name to the main driver package
but with a -dev suffix.

I don't use Ubuntu, but the OpenGL development packages are usually
provided by Mesa. I would just search in the package manager for "glew",
"glut", "glfw", install their development packages, and let the
dependencies bring in the OpenGL dev packages.

Thank you both!

I did what Daniel told me, search all the glew, glut and glfw -dev in
apt and installed all that has to do with opengl... and now the demos
are working.
