Hi Julien,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The example, JOGLQuad, gives the same libEGL error,  but then renders a spinning quadrangle properly, and throws no exceptions. So this is likely a Java3D-related error. To delve further:

The exceptions thrown by ModelGUI, according to the console output, originate in the call:

GraphicsConfiguration config = SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration();

which is a pretty standard call. This results in a call to the JoglPipeline.initialize(Pipeline.Type) function, which in turn calls:

[line 132]        profile = GLProfile.getMaxFixedFunc(true);

The actual error (2nd from top of the stack trace) occurs here:

javax.media.nativewindow.GraphicsConfigurationFactory.getFactory(GraphicsConfigurationFactory.java:229)

...but I can't see from the stack trace what the nature of the exception is. Perhaps a native error due to my machine's configuration (i.e., your suggestion #1)?

If you think this is the case, I can provide further detail about my system (please let me know what you need). In the meantime, I will try to run the application on different machines.

FWIW, I do have an NVIDIA card, with Bumblebee installed. Might this be the source of the problem?

Thanks again,
Andrew
