[Gmsh] gmsh problem (bug?)

[Linus Löfström]

Hi!

I tried to run the binary version for Linux and it started and displayed
some windows but then immediately crashed. I run a 2.6.9 kernel and have
glibc 2.3.4.20040808-r1.

The .gmsh-errors file says:
Info    : -------------------------------------------------------
Info    : Gmsh version   : 1.58.0
Info    : Build OS       : Linux 2.4.18-3

        : You have discovered a bug in Gmsh! You may report it

        : reproduce it) to <gmsh at geuz.org>
Info    : Writing log file '/home/linus/.gmsh-errors'

Also, the program outputs
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Insufficient GL support
Aborted

Does this mean I have to have OpenGL support to run gmsh? Is this why it
crashed?

Thanks for your time and let me know if I can provide better info in some
way.
