Frets on Fire will not run

[patrickaupperle]

I installed frets on fire with

aptitude install fretsonfire

but it will not run. I tried running from the terminal and this is the error message. Please help. I installed using this same package in ubuntu, downloaded off the debian package website, and it worked fine. Why won't it work the same here?

patrick@debian:~$ fretsonfire

you need to install a 3D capable driver for your videocard.

According to the errormessages it can't open the GL lib routines because it's probaly not installed.

install the package xlibmesa-gl and your video card's driver.

Thank you for the response, but I don't think it will work.

I installed neverball and now frets on fire works.
