My best guess is that this is a dependency problem with PyOpenGL... please reassign if it's actually another package. Description of problem: Tried to enable 3d mode in glchess from gnome-games. It told me to install Python GL and GtkGLExt bindings for this to work. I did a "yum install pygtkglext" and "yum install PyOpenGL". After this, glchess fails to start. (Silently, if running from the Gnome menu.) This is due to a failure to load libglut.so.3. See attached output log. "yum install freeglut" fixes this problem -- it appears it needs to be added as a dependency to PyOpenGL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PyOpenGL-3.0.0-0.3.a6.fc7 pygtkglext-1.1.0-2.fc7 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install PyOpenGL pygtkglext 2. $ glchess

Strange, because PyOpenGL already requires freeglut: [hans@shalem ~]$ rpm -q --requires PyOpenGL PyOpenGL-3.0.0-0.3.a6.fc7.noarch freeglut libGL libGLU python(abi) = 2.5 python-numeric python-setuptools rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 Could you try "rpm -q --requires PyOpenGL" on this system, as well as: "rpm -q --whatprovides freeglut" Maybe this is a x86_64 system and for some reason the i386 version of freeglut was already installed?
Yes, that is exactly what happened - I had already pulled freeglut.i386 for something else, so it didn't install the x86_64 freeglut when I installed gnome-games. "rpm -q --requires PyOpenGL" looks the same as yours. # rpm -q --whatprovides freeglut (after installing the x86_64 one) freeglut-2.4.0-11.fc7 freeglut-2.4.0-11.fc7 Is there a way to have it depend on the 64 bit freeglut so that this doesn't happen?
(In reply to comment #3) > Is there a way to have it depend on the 64 bit freeglut so that this doesn't happen? I'm afraid currently this isn't possible and in this specific case its even harder to achieve as PyOpenGL is a noarch package.
