From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: pygtk2 does not provide support for opening an opengl window, because there is no version of gtkglarea for gtk2. Providing a gtkglarea package for gtk2, or providing the gtkglext and pygtkglext packages (http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/) would make creating an opengl window possible from python. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pygtk2-1.99.14-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run python, and import gtk.gl - it will fail. 2. run the configure script for the pygtk package to see a message indicating failure to detect gtkgl-2.0. Actual Results: You will see the following message in the output from configure: checking for gtkgl-2.0 >= 1.99.0... Package gtkgl-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkgl-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtkgl-2.0' found Additional info:
