    Hi all,

    I need some help to install a program. My linux version is Ubuntu edgy. When I execute the command
    ./configure

    I get the following error

    checking for OpenGL support in wxWidgets... not found
    configure: error: wxMacMolPlt requires wxWidgets to be compiled with OpenGL support.

    How to fix this? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

    You're having dependency issues. You need the package wxWidgets.
    Two levels higher than a newb.
    (I can search google)

    Have you tried installing the program using apt-get or aptitude? Might help you with some of the dependency issues.

    hi
    I think I have the package wxWidgets but it complains that it has not been compiled with OpenGL. I have got the wxWidgets from the Ubuntu distro.

    How to proceed? Thanks in advance

    Problem solved!

    By adding the libraries using the UBUNTU distro everything worked fine:

    glut-doc - documentation and examples for the OpenGL Utility Toolkit
    glutg3-dev - the OpenGL Utility Toolkit development files

    Thanks for all trying to help
