You can find here 6 short OpenGL sample programs.
They have been tested under Linux and Windows on some States Cluster machines
and should work well.
Under Linux simply unzip the files. Enter the directory oglexamples and then
type 'make'. You may need to change permissions to the file 'checkliblinks' if
it cannot be executed (chmod u+x checkliblinks').

For Windows enter oglexamples/win32 and open oglexamples.dsw if using Visual
Studio 6.0, or oglexamples.sln if using Visual Studio .NET.

Let me know if anything does not work at llamasi@cc.gatech.edu
