Message 4258 - Posted: 25 Nov 2005, 14:12:01 UTC

I just had this on my windows-box. Windows complained that glut32.dll could not be found. Is it just me, or is it a problem of the graphics?
If it's me, how can I fix that?

TIA

I had the same thing happen. They are working on eliminating the need to send out glut32.dll with the app, but in the meantime you could just put a copy of it in your system folder.

You can find it here, among other places:

It's because the graphics initially require glut32.dll. You can get this from the glut web page, all you need to do is unzip the binary distribution, and put glut32.dll in your windowssystem32 directory.

As a footnote to this, a version of the screensaver is in the works that will not require glut32.dll. That will fix the problem permanently.

Okay, thanks, genes and dgnuff. I just put the DLL into my system32 directory. Now, I'll have to wait for another WU with graphics... Or maybe it won't be that long until the official (ie. non-beta) rosetta client supports graphics. Can't wait to see those graphics :-)
