1302.0. "HOOPS failing to initialize OpenGL driver" by OSLLAV::JENSH (Jens Holwech, SBU Workstation Sales Support, Norway (DTN 872-8543)) Thu May 29 1997 20:49
We're trying to set up a demo of a third party application
doing computational fluid dynamics: Fine from NUMECA.
The application uses HOOPS for graphics, with the choice of
an OpenGL or X11 driver. The application was linked under
UNIX V3.2(something), and we're trying to run it under
V4.0C with Open3D V4.3 on a PWS433au with PowerStorm 4D50T.
The X11 driver sort of works, but makes the application
horribly slow, i.e. practically unusable.
HOOPS displays this error message when attempting to
initialize the OpenGL driver:
"HOOPS error handler (2,2)
There was an unexpected Hoops internal error -
create_window() cannot find visual for OpenGL.
While calling
Enable_Selection_Events"
I've attached the output from xdpyinfo, which indicates
that the default visual is 24 bit TrueColor.
The behavior is identical for DECwindows Motif & CDE. We
have also tried disabling double buffering in HOOPS,
aswell as disabling use of the stream extension (ref.
note 1262.*)
Is this as expected, or might there be a way to make this
application function without recompiling/relinking?
Regards,
Jens

If the link you did under "UNIX V3.2(something)" is a STATIC
link, i.e., doesn't allow for new shareable (.so) images, then
you have no chance of working. The PowerStorm 4D50T requires
new X11 and OpenGL libraries to work on the PWS433au (aka "MX5").
Re-link is a minimum, or you live with "X11 driver sort of works".

If you don't know how the application/hoops library was linked, you
can either use the 'odump' command with the -D switch and look for
a line:
NEEDED: libGL.so
However, if the hoops library is a .so that was itself linked statically,
this might not be sufficient and you will need to use odump on the hoops
library.
Another method is to:
setenv _RLD_FLAGS -v
and watch to see what libraries are being loaded.
You should also run 'xglinfo' instead of/in addition to xdpyinfo. xglinfo
reports what the OpenGL characteristics of the visuals are.
Finally, what is the DISPLAY string set to? For best results this should
be ":0" or perhaps "local:0".

Not sure if this is a related problem, but here is a problem I found a
few days ago with Pro/E. I supposed I should PTT it:
The Open3D license on a particular system had expired, but the GLX
extension is still loaded by the XServer and advertised by the X Server
as being available. Pro/E, seeing GLX was available at startup, tried
to initialize itself to use the OpenGL driver. But, before long, the
X Server crashes and you end up back at a CDE Login screen.
The fix was to load an unexpired Open 3D license. You could also work
around the problem by forcing Pro/E to run in X Windows mode.

We already tried playing around with the DISPLAY setting, but without
any improvement.
We had an active Open3D license on this system, and other OpenGL
applications worked just fine.
I expect it'll be easier for the people with the source code (i.e.
NUMECA in Belgium) to sort this out... ;-)

Already PTT-ed.

ISV's in some support programs are supplied free-of-charge with
licenses for DIGITAL software products that are good for a limited
period of time, generally less than 1 year.
