[vtkusers] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing

[Richard Goldberg]

Hi all,

I have been able to install vtk on several sgi's and linux boxes with no
problem. However, there is one linux box that is giving me trouble.

Mesa, tcl/tk are both installed. Vtk was compiled on another linux box
and installed on this one.

When I run "vtk", the vtk window pops up, but I get this error on the
command line
	NV: could not open control device /dev/nvidiactl, errno=2
If I try to run any of the vtk examples or any of our own code (that
works on all the other machines) I get:
	tcsh% vtk cutter.tcl cb3.vtk ~bsimmons/outone.vtk
	NV: could not open control device /dev/nvidiactl, errno=2
	Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display "hadrian:10.0".
	Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display "hadrian:10.0".
	ERROR: In vtkMesaRenderWindow.cxx, line 152
	vtkMesaRenderWindow (0x80e3390): Could not find a decent visual
 
	Segmentation fault

Sounded to me like there was a problem with the mesa instalation, but I
reinstalled it and still have no luck.

Any pointers would be appriciated.

Thanks
