[Gate-users] gate does not load openGL driver

[franklin pereira]

Hi,

I compiled all the source code and got Gate to run the benchmarkPET
and SPECT tests correctly.

However, although I enabled the openGL variables in the geant build script
(G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER  and G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX ), openGL does not
show up as one of
the graphics system when gate starts up ( in command line mode).

I have ubuntu-8.04 running on my computer and  openGL is included with
the distribution under  the /usr directory tree.

However, to be sure, I downloaded the mesa libraries, installed it
under a separate directory tree and had geant point to
this directory ... however, I still get the same result.

I'd appreciate any suggestions to fix this.

Thank you,
Franklin.
