Trouble installing native extensions on Linux 64 bit

[PragTob]

Hey there,

I am using Linux Mint 11 64 bit (which is based upon Ubuntu 11.04) and the installation of Ray always aborts. I got all dependencies (I think) installed but now make finishes with an error.

say_context.c: In function ‘say_context_glew_init’:
say_context.c:231:3: error: ‘glVertexAttribDivisor’ undeclared (first use in this function)
say_context.c:231:3: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make: *** [say_context.o] Error 1

However see this gist for the whole console output: https://gist.github.com/1216617

I hope I didn't simply miss a dependency.

Basically, you did. .p

You have the right dependency, but not the right version. You need GLEW 1.6 at least to be able to compile Ray.

well thanks for the quick feedback. Unfortunately glew 1.6 isn't in my repos.. I'll see if I can get it from somewhere else.

I'll leave this open and close it when it runs with 1.6 or I don't find an easy way to get glew 1.6 without messing with my packages.

Thanks!

PragTob - if you're running on debian/ubuntu, I think you'll just need to install manually from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/1.7.0/glew-1.7.0.tgz/download

It's a pretty painless install. If you're gonna wait for it to be added, it may be some time....

Hey guys,

thanks for the support. I was rather busy (hard ruby course) at the time so sorry for the very late answer. With some workarounds I managed to get ray working, thank you very much! Now that I have the time I might get around to play a bit with ray!

cheerio!
