-11 builds appear to be good
Testing on a Ubuntu virtual box and a cleaned out Debain box appears to install correctly. So I am really praying this time that its all good, feed back please from anyone else who can confirm its now working, thanks!

It all installed properly. I do get a window creation
error, but I’m going to see how I might eradicate
that so the viewer does operate.
Thanks for you your efforts on the new build.

Ok thats a big improvment, nothing else was touched that could cause a window creation error, can you check your ~/.snowglobe/logs/secondlife.log file and see what the exact message is? this can be caused by GLX issues, the accelerated 3d driver not being avaiable or even the anti-aliasing setting being set to something your gfx card does not support. The log file mostly tells you more but in the case of the anti-alisaing bug it just says unable to create window, could not find matching glx visual…

Hey thanks,
All I had to do was find a newer linux driver
for ubuntu or debian. After installing the
nvidia drivers it was great. Linux Mint worked
nicely with Second Life. I’ll install the driver
on my Xubuntu install as well. Take care
and good work.

runs nice on Ubuntu 9.10 with SGI ATi drivers
jsut got a “ERROR: Mapbuffer: glMapbuffer returned NULL (no Vortex data)”
is that Snowglobe or Ati driver related ?

Ohm Ygod you need to reference STABLE repositories as well as unstable/testing in your apt/source.list
libboosts-*_1_34_1 and friends are only in stable, as boost is a c++ library (not a c library) it is totally compiler dependent and when Debian release new boost packages they change the name of the package to also contain the version so that you can have all boost versions installed at once, none over wright each other.
Also.. adding a the Debian stable respotiory will not effect anything else, it will not downgrade your system or anthing

Great tips! As a relatively new blogger, I don’t get many comments, but it’s so exciting when I do! I will definately try your tips. Thanks!
