[vtkusers] OffScreen Rendering using Mangled Mesa

[Hassan Amin]

Hi,

 I set up various options regarding rendering and offscreen rendering
in VTK, but it requires mangled mesa. I am using vtk 5.2.1 and ubuntu
9.1. I was wondering which packages on ubuntu will provide appropriate
version of mesa for me. Currently, I am getting the following error
when compiling vtk :

[ 70%] Building CXX object
Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRendering.dir/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.o
/home/hassan/vision/VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx: In
member function ‘virtual void (*
vtkOpenGLExtensionManager::GetProcAddress(const char*))()’:
/home/hassan/vision/VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx:270:
error: ‘glXGetProcAddressARB’ was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRendering.dir/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.o]
Error 1
make[1]: *** [Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRendering.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any help in resolving this error will be appreciated.

Best Wishes,
