c++ Segmentation fault occurs when executing simple opengl tutorial

Question

I am trying to use opengl to render objects. Although the simple tutorial example http://www.videotutorialsrock.com/opengl_tutorial/get_opengl_setup_linux/text.phpcompiles without error when I attempt to execute the program it crashes i.e. the dreaded segmentation fault.

System

Suse Linux 11.2 64 bit

g++ (SUSE Linux) 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839] Eclipse IDE Build id: 20100218-1602

according to yast 64bit freeglut and freeglut-devel are installed:

090301-3.1 libglut.so.3()(64bit) mesaglut freeglut = 090301-3.1 freeglut(x86-64) = 090301-3.1

Is this a 64 bit vs 32 bit issue? I have had the same example program working under suse 11.1 32bit.

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 2

Well, all I can say is that the example compiles and runs on Ubuntu 10.04 x64. I did have to add -lGLU to LIBS in the makefile, but since it already compiles for you, I guess that's not very helpful.

Your debug info does not provide a lot of insight; try installing -dbg packages for the relevant libraries.
