[Python-modules-team] Bug#453386: python-opengl: same problem with snowballz, but not with billard-gl

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: python-opengl
Version: 3.0.0~a6-4
Followup-For: Bug #453386


Hi, I tried both a program that uses freeglut3 but not python-opengl 
(billard-gl) which worked, and another program that uses python-opengl 
(snowballz) which failed with the errors:

$ snowballz

OSError: GL: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This points to some problem with python-opengl when using the nv driver.
