Dear Bio-Linux users,

it has come to our attention from a user (thanks Luciane) that the
OpenGL implementation (3D graphics libraries) in Bio-Linux is broken and
applications such as PyMol will not run if installed.

If you are experiencing problems with OpenGL applications:

1) Log in as manager
2) Open a terminal
3) Type: sudo rm -rf `locate libglx.so`

The ` symbol is below the Esc key on the keyboard.  This should fix the
OpenGL issues which were due to stale NVIDIA drivers incompletely
removed from the system when they were uninstalled.

regards,

Dan
