visual error

[David Clark]

I have installed vtk with mesa on my LINUX box.  When I try to fire up
one of the examples in $VTKPATH/graphics/examplesTcl/ , I get the following
error:

------

ERROR In vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 159
vtkOpenGLRenderWindow (0x8180b98): Could not find a decent visual


Segmentation fault (core dumped)

------

I need to get this running soon for a class I'm taking this semester.
Does anyone have any suggestions.  Also, I tried the link from the
www.kitware.com site to the archives for this list, but it appears to
be broken.  Does anybody know where the archives are?

Thanks,

Dave
