[IDV #XOS-354812]: IDV - java3D errors and installation problems

Hi Meghan-

I'm not sure why this is.  All the form does is an HTTP post
to our web form, so if there is no firewall blocking access
to that, it should work.

> Anyway, this is a runtime install (JRE).

According to Mark's message, java-1.4 is a symlink to  j2sdk1.4.2_07
which would indicate a JDK (SDK).

Well, the good news is that Java 3D is installed in the correct
location.  The bad news is what I indicated in my previous message -
the version of Java 3D that you installed requires GLX 1.3 as indicated
by:

> Java 3D ERROR : GLX extension is not supported
> GLX version 1.3 or higher is required

therefore, it cannot create the windows (which leads to the other
errors).  The reason you saw maps
before is that if Java 3D is not available, it tries to use Java 2D.
You would encounter severe performance issues using that (we plan to
not allow that in the future, just for that reason).

Please try the following:

- download the IDV Linux installer from the IDV downloads page.  Be
sure to select the default when asked with Java VM you want to use.
- add your geonidv.jar and script to that directory and have the
script point to the jre/bin/java in the install directory.

This is the preferred method of installation of the IDV.  It installs
a known JRE/Java3D which works on a variety of Linux systems and avoids
the problems you are running into.

If you run into problems using this installer, let us know.
