I found that I had a problem with /usr/lib/libGL where some of the links weren't kosher. So, in my AHHA! moment, I cranked it back up and still had the damn errors. That's why I'm hoping we could get some involvement from the Linux Community back into Croquet to fix this stuff. We lack the numbers there. I also found some permission problems with squeak, included in the package which wasn't chmod'd to execute. I fixed that and it came up. There is also supposed to be a newest beta version of nVidia drivers to fix broken libGL handling, so it might not be on their end what's broken. So, I cruised over the rpm.livna.org and checked it out. It's supposed to be in /testing. I dunno if I have the guts to try it or not! <grins> Anyone familiar with the newest beta nVidia driver and which one do you use? There are some unfamiliar names there. I have no clue. I'll pang away on it some more. It's also having a problem with ports, it'll grab updates, but it won't connect to the world servers. They do have a bugzilla with a bunch of linux bug-reports listed. But, if you have tried the beta linux client version of Secondlife, it's a mind blower. That runs out of the box and you will really see something if you try it. It's free.
