Oasys Primer crashing when using VGL

[s-m-hk]

Hi,

I'm attempting to run Primer 22.0 (https://dyna.oasys-software.com/software/primer/) using VGL, but it crashes immediately after the software starts.

The glXSwapIntervalEX function is implicated in the crash.

$vglrun ./primer22_64.exe

The output was voluminous so I only included the last part.

It crashes when I disable vsync in Primer too. Is there anything else I can try?

[dcommander]

Ugh. It's usually difficult to obtain a demo version of commercial applications like that, and it's also usually difficult to diagnose such issues without obtaining a demo version.

glXSwapIntervalEXT() is one of the functions that VirtualGL interposes. However, given that you don't see that function in the trace log, I can only guess that the application is also interposing the function for some reason, and the application's version is overriding VirtualGL's version.

You might try setting the VGL_GLLIB environment variable to the full path of libGL.so on your system. I can't think of anything else to try.

I had tried that too, but it would still crash. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'll reach out to the software vendor and see if they can provide any help.
