I am trying to build a project with Geant4 but I recieved this message
#Use this open statement to create OpenGL view:
/vis/open OGL 600x600-0+0
parameter value is not listed in the candidate List.
***** Illegal parameter (0) </vis/open OGL 600x600-0+0> *****
***** Batch is interrupted!! *****
My yum isn’t working so I can’t “yum install Open OGL” [i don’t actually know if that works]…how do I install OpenGL to /vis
thanks
You don’t install OpenGL because OpenGL is not software.
Instead you must install the drivers for your video card.

how do I get the drivers then and where do I put them? I specifically need OpenGL?
thanks
You need to install the apropriate drivers for your graphics card. You mentioned yum, so I’m assuming you are using a GNU/Linux distribution.
If you have an Intel card, install “mesa”
If you have an ATI card, you can install the proprietary driver from their website (AFAIK they have a shell script for installation) or install “mesa” with the “radeonhd” drivers.
If you have an NVIDIA card, you can install the proprietary driver from their website (they have a shell script for installation) or install “mesa” with the “nouveau” drivers.
