Error compiling the vertex shader: Vertex shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: error(#272) Implicit version number 110 not supported by GL3 forward compatible context
ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors.  No code generated

This particular error can only be avoided by adding a version line
#version 130
// GLSL 1.3 is the lowest version of GLSL supported by OpenGL 3 core GLSL spec
at the top of the vertex and fragment shader when using a GL3 or GL4 context.
It looks like AMD GPU drivers enforce the opengl spec that require the version to be explicitly set.

or... use a backward compatible context.
