3/13    This is a bit obscure and I've obGoogled to no avail: I'm trying to
        get opengl SGI apps to display on my cygwin box but the sgi side
        complains that it can't find libgl.so in any paths.  Any ideas? Thanks!
        \_ Does it work on the local SGI machine?  Sometimes openGL stuff
           is installed in its own subdirectory which isn't searched by
           default.  Try man ldconfig (might not work for SGI though).
           \_ works perfectly on the sgi.  I can redirect the DISPLAY and get
              non-opengl stuff working easily.  I can't get anything that uses
              opengl on the sgi to work on a remote display.  Won't show up
              on my Solaris box either for the same reason.
              \_ Don't you need OpenGL installed on your cygwin box? The
                 X server isn't going to know what to do with those OpenGL
                 function calls. I know that an app that we developed
                 requires OpenGL installed even when it is run remotely.
                 \_ yes this is correct.  in fact it is often nice to run
                    opengl programs from a fast computer on a display with
                    fast opengl.  sgi offers a program called vizserver,
                    however, that will let you send the actual frames over
                    a remote connection.  you need it installed on both ends.
                 \_ Ok I figured it was something like this and my cygwin is a
                    complete install of everything and seems to already have
                    a bunch of opengl files but not the one the sgi wants.  I
                    tried copying&renaming opengl.* to libgl.* into the path
                    the sgi wanted and no-go.  Maybe I really don't have opengl
                    installed or I need some option to XWin.exe to get it to
                    load.  Any more hints in this direction?  Thanks!
