I have seen this issue every time I tried to install this package. I was not aware of how to deal with this, as I am not aware of how any of the graphics glx works. Could you please help with this? Thank you!
Hey @saipavanc, sorry you're experiencing errors. This is a panda3d error you're encountering. I'm sure it's a solvable problem, but it's outside my expertise. Fortunately, they have a very active discourse, so I think you can probably get the help you need there. They'll probably ask about your hardware/software specs.
If you make a post there (you can use your github account), please reference it in this issue and I'll monitor it. Maybe I can generalize the solution within pooltool to make it easier for others in the future.
@saipavanc I see you solved the issue. How OpenGL works is quite a bit past my knowledge limit, so I really appreciate you detailing your steps in Could not open window panda3d/panda3d#1737
