OpenGL problems with Open3D installed

Hi managers,

I am running a X-Windows application on a Silicon Graphics machine and displaying it
on my DEC Alpha 255/233 running Digital UNIX V4.0.

The application runs but the X-Server core dumps on DigitalUNIX when the application tries
to use OpenGL extension.


I have installed "DEC Open3D V4.2-T1-Nov18" which was a TEST release given to me by Digital
Support some time ago to fix other problems. The OpenGL X-Server extension has been
installed, this is indicated by the entry in the 'Xserver.conf' file as follows:

The 'Xdec' (X-Server) core dumped. I checked the core image using dbx to see where it dumped
. It failed on the 'ProcQueryExtension' function call. So I gather it could not load the
OpenGL extension when it required it.

>From the extension list above I checked whether all the shared files are present on the system.
The missing shared files in directory '/usr/shlib/X11' are:

        lib_dec_opengl.so
        lib_dec_sampleGL.so


My graphics card given by 'sizer -gt' is 'ZLXp2-EV4' which requires 'lib_dec_opengl.so' is
missing.


I am sure that I installed all "DEC Open3D V4.2-T1-Nov18" options.

Before trying to install 'Open3D V4.0' which I have a CD for, does anyone know if the
missing 'lib_dec_opengl.so' shared library is the cause of my problem ??


I had a look on the Digital Site "http://www.service.digital.com/open3d/" from which you
can download the latest Open3D. But it states that it should only be installed on DUV4.0a,b,c.
Since I only have DU4.0 installed is this going to be a problem ??

Also it mentions you require a PAK license to install Open3D V4.3 or 4 or 5. I recall that
I did not require a license on DU4.0 to install Open3D for that release.




Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Thanks
