[Gate-users] OpenGL not installing

[Joel Lazewatsky]

Thanks for the help -  particularly appreciate your confirming that the 02
patch works ok.

I did just now look at ccmake with the "t" option and there were a bunch of
"NOT FOUND' errors that appeared. I went back to vGate on a Windows
machine, though, to compare and did the same thing, since vGate is,
presumably, a fully functional install (at least /vis/open OGLSX doesn't
produce an error). Even with the "t" option, the two were essentially
identical. ccmake with vGate had all of the same "NOT_FOUND" messages and
even one or two more (for some minor X11files).

Any other thoughts?

I will check on the Geant4 email list, though.

Thanks!

Joel
