Ranjan, Even though I don't have C++ experience on the iris, I do know what
ERR_BADWINDOW signifies: it usually means that when calling ortho one or more
of the left-right, bottom-top, or near-far pairs has been switched.
There exists a list from the SG Customer Support Division which gives a
cryptic listing of all the GL error messages. I recommend trying to get hold
of a copy.

There are some ramifications once you start doing this, which you must do for all C++ programs. I have found that iostream operators break with floats; you must cast them to double like this: float aFloatVar = 1.0e0; cout << (double) aFloatVar; I believe that you must recompile the libraries when you have provided these flags.

Hello, I used C++ and GL a lot, without having problems. The only thing which still is unnerving me is the fact that the linker depends on the order- ing of the library files. I thought such multiple-name problems should be cured by C++. Cheers, Rick@vee.lrz-muenchen.de
