i can compile current cvs but on loading gem states:
Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: glProgramEnvParameter4dARB Gem: can't load library
anybody else experienced this too ?
...hmm, this kind of stuff keeps coming up and reminding me that we have to do something about this :-)
...atm, we handle ARB and EXT testing at compile time, which means that things break if you use a binary compiled on a system that has support for advanced features on a system that doesn't...in this case, this is probably the first symbol you're not getting due to a lack of ARB_vertex_program in hardware...
...I'm not really sure how the gl headers work on linux: do they just define everything, or do they do checking of the capabilities of the system that they're on?
....it'd probably be better for us to adopt runtime extension checking, which we minimally do atm for texture_rectangle and client_storage (i think)...maybe we should use something like glew, or roll our own?
