love from sources doesn't work

Post by RPG »

I and my friend have similar OS: Mandriva Linux 2010.2 64 bit (friend) and Mandriva Linux 2010.2 32 bit (me). Love hasn't RPM package, so we have to compile engine yourself.
On my system (32 bit) love works perfectly.
On friend's system love compiles, but doesn't run. Error:

Code: Select all

$ love
Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
Error: [string "boot.lua"]:284: Could not set screen mode
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
[string "boot.lua"]:284: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:219>
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
Why?
We have both Nvidia proprietary drivers.

Only thing I can think of is his computer really not supporting that mode. But the default screen should use 800x600, windowed, no FSAA, which should work on just about any desktop computer..

Can you give the list of supported modes? (via love.graphics.getModes())

Also, as far as I know, you can't just execute

Code: Select all

$ love
You have to execute

Code: Select all

$ love .
instead.

Running the executable without arguments should present the no game screen.

Lol yeah, it didn't enter my mind that that's what you were trying to do.

$ love works on my machine

His monitor is 1280x1024, I think 800x600 mode supported:)
I'll try to get lit of modes.

All other games works perfectly.

You mean only nogame doesn't work, or only non-LÖVE games work?
Help us help you: attach a .love.

All OpenGL games work, but not love-games.
