Hi All,
I am providing an update/summary on this... Daniel's suggestion of not
using the SuSE nvidia drivers seems to have worked. To recap, he
suggested I download the latest nvidia drivers from nvidia.com, rather
than using the SuSE nvidia drivers, and install them manually (which is
not as painful as the installation instructions first suggested!), then
edit 'environment.txt' to make sure 'GL_DIR', 'GL_LIB_FLAGS' and
'GL_INCLUDE_FLAGS' are pointing to the correct directories, and then
running 'make clean'/'make'/'make links'.
I am now able to use the OpenGL graphics handler in Analysis, and it is
considerably more efficient than the tk graphics handler. Upon loading
Analysis, the following appears in the console window:
The FAQ is at: http://www.ccpn.ac.uk/ccpn/software/ccpnmr-analysis/faq
For further help see the mailing list: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/ccpnmr
>>> GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation
GL_RENDERER = Quadro NVS 290/PCI/SSE2
GL_VERSION = 2.1.2 NVIDIA 177.82
which seems to suggest that Analysis is pointing to the correct GL
drivers (the bottom 3 lines did not appear before). There is only one
other slight modification that needs to be made. When adding a new peak,
Analysis crashed with the following error:
freeglut ERROR: Function <glutBitmapWidth> called without first calling
'glutInit'
This is easily fixed by editing 'environment.txt' and explicitly
initialising GLUT, then running 'make clean', 'make' and 'make links'.
Marco, I have not had to run the script that you sent me, but I did have
a look at it - it does seem useful to have in the locker.
Finally, many thanks to everyone for their helpful input.
Best wishes,
Pryank
