I've seen this problem with glchess, but I didn't want to install libgl1
-mesa-dev.
The problem is that ctypes.util.find_library('GL') should return
'libGL.so.1' and instead returns None.
So an alternative workaround can be:
from ctypes import util
def find_library(name):
fullname = find_library_orig(name)
if fullname is None and name == 'GL':
fullname = 'libGL.so.1'
return fullname
find_library_orig = util.find_library
util.find_library = find_library
and then start the Python program with execfile(whatever), e.g. for me:
execfile('/usr/games/glchess')
The root of the problem is that python-opengl should not call
find_library every time a program is run, but it should hardcode a
specific ABI version of the library it wants (e.g. 'libGL.so.1').
The Python ctypes documentation states:
"""
If wrapping a shared library with ctypes, it may be better to determine the
shared library name at development type, and hardcode that into the wrapper
module instead of using find_library to locate the library at runtime.
"""
