After updating the system & world, we have an application that does not work properly. It cannot found the function glxMakeCurrent. The error message shown is the following one: "Unable to resolve function glxMakeCurrent". We have upgrade mesa-progs and xorg-server, but it does not get better. Any suggestions will be wellcome. Reproducible: Always
There is nothing we can do with this information, please provide more details if you think this is a problem with Gentoo. You might want to check: -) What are the dependencies (which libraries) of your application. -) Did you rebuild your applications to link against newer libraries that may have been installed during the world upgrade. By the way, glxMakeCurrent is an OpenGL function.
Please provide the category/package of the filing app in the subject, comment your emerge --info, and attach a build.log/environment file. And feel free to reopen, if the problem still exists.
The programme is Fluent12.1-Workbench. It does not belong to gentoo-tree, because is not a gnu-gpl programme.

Hello, I'm tend to RESO/INVALID this because it isn't an Gentoo related bug. Maybe http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/cfx/25236-ansys-workbench-uncertified-linux-distros-3.html (Google on Fluent Workbench and glxMakeCurrent). Please provide some infos if you want help! - What's your `emerge --info` output (rearries information about the system being 32 or 64 bit). - What's your `eselect opengl list` output? - Is this program 32 or 64bit? find the execureable and run `ldd <binary file>` or `scanelf -n -R <installation dir>` and put the output here. I can imageine that you need app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-opengl if this is a 32bit prog on a 64 bit system. If this is relly critical, you can undo the last xorg-server stablization (1.7.*) and revert to a 1.6 version. Michael
Oh, and please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log , /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and the output of `eix -I -C x11-drivers` (you might need `emerge -av eix` for the last one. ...

Hai Michael, the Fluent12.1-Workbench installed is the 32b version and gentoo is also a 32b. If you suggest, we could try the 64b of gentoo with the 64b version of Fluent12.1-Workbench. So we do not use app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-opengl. Ok, another try will be revert xorg-server to 1.6, but it might help because of Fluent12.1-Workbench has been developed recently and it may use the latest versions. Oriol

Hi, (In reply to comment #9) > the Fluent12.1-Workbench installed is the 32b version and gentoo is also a 32b. Ok that's fine. > If you suggest, we could try the 64b of gentoo with the 64b version of > Fluent12.1-Workbench. So we do not use app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-opengl. I don't know if it's worth the time. But you should clearly avoid emul-linux-*-opengl packages since they maybe don't match to the running X server. Have you tried setting your opengl to nvidia? (`eselect opengl set nvidia`) Michael
There is no Fluent Workbench, I guess you are using the Ansys Workbench in combination with the Fluent Solver which Ansys, Inc. recently assimilated. So it could be either a Workbench or a Fluent problem. If you really need to use the Ansys Workbench (or other software from commercial vendors) I recommend you to use the Distributions they officially support [1], which are in general more conservative when it comes to using new software. Most commercial software wont work properly in a bleeding edge environment. They usually have release cycles >1 year, and within that time many things change in the open source world. This will save you a lot of trouble. You will have enough problems when using the software itself :) Another advantage is you can bother the support team about installation issues. They may help you with unsupported Distributions but it is not guaranteed there will be a solution to your problem. From personal experience I know that the Ansys Workbench and Fluent works well with SLES 10 and Nvidia Quadro cards. Also Red Hat Enterprise 5 should be fine. If you can not afford the Enterprise Versions, you may take a look at CentOS which is free and basically Red Hat Enterprise as it uses the same sources.
