Celestia Forums

I am trying to install Celestia 1.3.2 on a Ultra 10 running Solaris 9. I ran into difficulty right at the configure step! The 'config.log' file contains:.
...

configure:19893: error: GLUT library version >= 3.7 not found

GLUT 3.7 is installed...libglut.a and libglut.so are both in /usr/openwin/lib. Note also the 'glXGetProcAddressARB' symbol error! What gives?
Has anyone successfully installed Celestia on an older Sun box?

Thanks

I'm not an expert, but...
Looks like libglut.so is found but unable to reference the symbol "glXGetProcAddressARB". Are you sure that your OpenGL / GLX setup is correct? Did you have success running or even compiling other OpenGL programs?

I'm not an expert either, but as far as I can tell my OpenGL/GLX setup is ok. As a test I recompiled the GLUT 3.7 progs and examples that came with GLUT 3.7 downloaded from the Sun website. I was able to compile and run most, not all (two or three). Those that failed displayed the following error:

GLUT: Fatal Error in blah blah: visual with necessary capabilities not found.

That I suspect is due to the limitations of the Elite 3D-M3 graphics card installed.
