Sorry if this has already been answered, but is it possible to run GEM on the raspberry pi?
I've just installed the Pd-0.43.3-extended-20121004.deb file from http://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended-0-43-3-on-raspberry-pi-raspbian-w...
So far so good, but when I try to open a gemwin the following error occurs:
"GEM: X server has no OpenGL GLX extension"
Googling for info I came across this:
GLX is an extension to the X windows server which allows GL programs to pass their commands through to the underlying renderer. On the pi there are two fundamental problems:
doesn't actually support OpenGL, just OpenGL ES (1.1 and 2.0).
driver for the pi right now is the fbdev driver, which doesn't support GLX. I don't know of any drivers that are working on GLX support, but they'd have to provide some kind of translation mechanism as well to convert unsupported GL calls into their GL ES equivalents.
For the foreseeable future, you're probably out of luck.
Is that the case? Is there no way of running GEM on the raspberry pi at present?
Cheers,
Iain
