correct LINUX 64 bit configuration

[rico]

Hi. I'm trying to use McIDAS-V 1.5 on a LINUX platform (64-bit) but when I run the command, runMcV, I get the following configuration errors:

[rico@rhw9103 1.5]$ runMcV
Reading system configuration...

I submitted a help desk ticket to the local IT department but they will probably refer me back to the MUG. So what ever info you can give me to correct the situation, I'll pass it along to IT if needed. Thanks.

Hi rico,
I checked the forums and our inquiry system and did not find any reports of "libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found". However, a Google search of it suggests that it's likely a graphics card or driver issue.

So I'd first recommend that your local IT department check the System Requirements; in particular the graphics cards and drivers section (especially the part about making sure your drivers are up to date). Here are a couple other pages with additional information:

• Video Cards FAQ
• Using McIDAS-V FAQ (has a 6-step procedure you can try to get McV working)
• Common Run-Time Errors FAQ (also has some card/driver related items)

Thanks,
Barry

Thanks Barry. I'll relay this info to my IT department.
