Where can find OpenGL library for Tru64 5.1A?

[Ray Browder]

I'm looking for the OpenGL libraries for Tru64 5.1A. It is not on the OS Volume 1 CD for V5.1A.

I've read the thread: Where can find OpenGL library for Tru64 5.0? That helpped for V5.1B, but not for V5.1A.

I've found the OpenGL kits on the V5.1B CD.

I have two SC45 clusters that are running V5.1A. I will not be able to upgrade to V5.1B for at least six months. Also, I have no graphic adapters on these clusters.

I tried to install the OpenGL kits from the V5.1B CD onto the V5.1A machine. That will not work.

Is the OpenGL support for V5.1A in the Open3D kits?

Thanks,
Ray

OpenGL is part of the driver kit of your graphic card. So have a look onto the associated product cd delivered with your os cd (included only for OS < 5.1B, > 5.1B seperate kit with name opengl/open3d).

Install the kit of your graphic card and it will also install the opengl library. Not all graphic cards will support 3D (e.g. oxygen and elsa cards)!

Do not use kits from newer versions on old versions! This totally unsupported and will lead to an unsupported system!

I will look at the associated products cd for v5.1A.

This may not help as these machines are servers, and do not have graphics cards.

so why do you need opengl if there is no card in the machines. The opengl engine is running on X11-server side (so on the machine with the graphic card).

Or do you simple need single libraries on server side? If so install one of the opengl supported graphic card kits!

Thanks for the response. It has helped to clarify which problem I really need to solve. It's a long story. :(
