Re: Unable to compile all-in-one torcs 1.3.2

Now all works perfectly! Really thank you very much.
I suggest to publish on torcs website this last patch, which will help 
many ubuntu users.

I also had troubles with opengl because i'm running TORCS into a 
VirtualBox Ubuntu 11.10 guest machine, and the host is a Win7 64bit 
nVidia powered:

Compatibility mode, properties unknown.
OpenGL Warning: XGetVisualInfo returned 0 visuals for 0x83232a8
OpenGL Warning: Retry with 0x8002 returned 0 visuals
./torcs: line 53:  5914 Segmentation fault      $LIBDIR/torcs-bin -l 
$LOCAL_CONF -L $LIBDIR -D $DATADIR $*

The solution i found to this problem is really simple:
1) remove torcs settings:

$ rm -fR $HOME/.torcs

2) start torcs without direct rendering as

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 ./torcs

3) go to display options and set VIDEO MODE INITIALIZATION = best

4) quit game and restart torcs now with direct rendering (i.e. as usual)

This problem happens also installing TORCS from ubuntu repository.

Best regards
Alessandro
