Cannot run Flex after compilation: libGLEW.so.1.10 is missing and #9

I want to use Flex on a Linux-based machine. Unfortunately the computer does not have the libGLEW.so.1.10 library installed. I tried using the libGLEW.so.1.10 file in the repository but it gives me an error like the file is too short. The closest I have been able to get so far is to do sudo apt-get install libglew-dev. But that does not install libGLEW.so.1.10 which is required when trying to run Flex. I wonder, is it possible to change the repo code in a way that the executable can use the latest, stable, version of the libGLEW library? If not, how can I install the specific version of the library required to run the demos through the executable files?

P.S. Apologies for submitting something which probably cannot be considered as an "issue".

Hi Amir,

The libGLEW.so.1.10 is just a symlink, which is probably why you were getting that error. You could try adding the external/glew/lib/linux to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you don't have GLEW installed on your system already.

Cheers, Miles
