I have inherited some example code which proports to be using X Windows and OpenGL commands. When I try to run a pre-built program I get an error as follows:<br>
... fatal: libXpm.so : open failed : No such file or directory.<br>
I can't find libXpm.so any where.<br>
<br>
When I attempt to compile the sources I get into trouble because one of the sources &quot;includes&quot; &lt;GL/gl.h&gt; which I can not find. Is there an &quot;addon&quot; commercial or shareware which supports OpenGl on the Solaris?<br>
Thanks,<br>

Solaris (at least 2.6 and above) comes with OpenGL support built-in. However, that doesn't mean it was actually installed with the OS. Are you the sysadmin or do you just have an account on the system?<br>

If you have root, you can just pkgadd the OpenGL support from the OS CD. If you don't have root, email root and ask root to do it for you. <p>Phillip Cohen<br><a href=mailto:phillipCohen@netscape.net>PhillipCohen@netscape.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
