Hi Chris, Sounds like the directions in doc/README_solaris should help, particulary if 3.1.4 won't run correctly. plus, dx needs to be in the PATH run with -processors 1 if SMP is causing problems (and unless you Partition data it SMP won't help). set ARCH to solaris (the os may have set ARCH to sun . We should probably change our use of this var and have our own DXARCH . I am so looking forward to doing that.) Visit sun for the latest opengl.
Solaris binary is 4.0.3 and I have trouble thinking back that far. good luck, P Chris Pelkie wrote: > I'm working with a new user to DX who is having trouble getting things > going.
