OpenGL 2.0 not detected correctly?

I think I have an OpenGL 2.0 compatible card, at least:

rhino$ glxinfo | grep '2\.'
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 173.14.09

However, openscad gives me a warning about missing openGL
support on startup.

Any tips where to start looking for the problem?

Thanks,
Britton

interesting..

the relevant code from glview.cc is:

--snip--
GLenum err = glewInit();
if (GLEW_OK != err) {
fprintf(stderr, "GLEW Error: %s\n", glewGetErrorString(err));
}
const char *openscad_disable_gl20_env = getenv("OPENSCAD_DISABLE_GL20");
if (openscad_disable_gl20_env && !strcmp(openscad_disable_gl20_env, "0"))
openscad_disable_gl20_env = NULL;
if (glewIsSupported("GL_VERSION_2_0") && openscad_disable_gl20_env == NULL)
--snap--

so unless you have set OPENSCAD_DISABLE_GL20 in your environment you should
start looking at the glew library and the handling of "GL_VERSION_2_0"
there..

Also try running glewinfo, just to check if glew works out of the box,
e.g.
glewinfo | grep '2[\._]'

False alarm, it was my fault... openscad was getting linked against
a wrong version of libGL, and of course glxinfo and glewinfo were not.

I'm really excited about OpenSCAD, it looks like exactly what I've been
wanting for a while. For some reason it took way too long to find (I
only
eventually heard of it from the RepRap project. Perhaps the project
needs a freshmeat page.
