Hello!

This question might not be too OSF-specific, yet I hope that someone may
be able to help me. The problem is as follows:

We are running a cluster of DEC Alpha AXP/OSF with OSF/1 2.1 and X11R5.

I am trying to compile and run programs using the Silicon Graphics OpenGL
libraries (gl, glu, glx, etc.)
The progams build fine, but the execution yields:

>> No glx extension!
>> Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
>> Window type not found!

Do I need to configure the Xserver to support GLX? And if, how do I do
that? Is it possible at all to use GLX with OSF/1 2.1 ?

Thanks for your help! Will summarize.

Enno.
