I am having trouble with tutorial 8. I am using the Linux source, and it compiles, but when I run it I get the following error:
GLUT: Fatal Error in lesson8: visual with necessary capabilities not found.
When I remove GLUT_ALPHA from glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_ALPHA); it works, but of course without transparency. Is there another wat to do this, or do I have an outdated library? I am on the school network, so I am not sure which version is installed. The network is running RedHat 8 I believe. Thanks for any help.
