when i compile the lib using the instructions from the read me here. most/all the examples give the above error message.

does anyone have any thoughts/advice? thanks.

I think I've seen this when running through WSL (headless linux environment) and not enabling X11. Not sure why you are seeing this as you are running from a desktop environment. However, I think it's glfw that emitts the error. Try compiling with THREEPP_USE_EXTERNAL_GLFW=ON to use the systems glfw installation.

this worked, thanks for your help!

cmake --build build -DTHREEPP_USE_EXTERNAL_GLFW=ON shall i update the README and submit a pull req?

It is likely a bug where the default configuration is mismatched on the linux platform. Using external glfw should not be required. An eventual PR should fix the configuration problem.
