Re: [PyMOL] freeglut problem: almost solved!

Dear Warren & pymol-users,

If you remember about my freeGLUT problem, I have partially solved it,=20
but still not 100%.
Yes, PyMOL works OK with freeGLUT 2.4.x. My problem was that if I launch=20
the program from command line, in a terminal window, the error appears:

freeglut (/home/hteran/tmp/programs/pymol/pymol.exe): Unable to create=20
direct context       rendering for window 'PyMOL Viewer'
This may hurt performance.

BUT if I launch the program from the KDE menu, it simply works great! I=20
can enable the option "run in terminal window" and even though no=20
freeGLUT error appears in the term, and PyMOL is as fast as it should be!

So, the question is can adv linux user can point me how to solve the=20
problem when I want to run pymol from command line? It seems a problem=20
with the path, but I can not go further ...
