Whenever I try to run the armyops command, the splash screen shows up, but then it exits with these messages:
Could not load OpenGL library
History:
Exiting due to error
This happens as root and as a normal user. My system profile:
Debian Linux kernel version 2.4.20
nvidia nforce graphics/network card
1.8 Ghz AMD Athlon XP 2500+
I do have the nvidia gfx drivers installed, and I'm able to run Counter-Strike (another opengl game, and for windows no less). Any ideas?

The nvidia driver install a GL library under /usr/lib/libGL.so and the Mesa libGL.so is usually under /usr/X11R6/lib/(libGL.so). You need to rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.* and run ldconfig. This should fix the conflicting libGL librarys. You also can tell quake3 to use /usr/lib/libGL.so (quake3 +set r_gldriver /usr/lib/libGL.so) I think.

After removing or deleting the libGL.* files like the other guy suggested, you must reinstall your NVIDIA drivers then add Load "glx" and change "nv" to "nvidia".That should do it.

There are no libGL.* files in my /usr/X11R6/lib directory. There are, however, libGLU files. Are those the ones?

do an opengl-update nvidia ... that links your libGL* files against the nvidia-glx-files

Start the game with a command: 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1 path/to/armyops/binary/armyops'

Wow. Worked like a charm. Now, can you explain to me why that works? I'm interested to learn...
Thanks,

By the looks of the command the game does not load the library file correctly when you run armyops but when you run the command
'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1 path/to/armyops/binary/armyops'
it loads the libray file then starts the game. Thus removing the problem with loading the library at run time.

I tried the above also, however I'm getting this from my console:
XXX@XXXX1:~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1 /home/tman/armyops/armyops
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
Any suggestions?
