NameError using OpenGL shaders

[Robert Ancell]

When using the python OpenGL bindings a NameError exception is raised when glCompileShader() is called.

The missing function is glGetObjectParameteriv in
 /usr/share/pycentral/python-opengl/site-packages/OpenGL/GL/VERSION/GL_2_0.py

I hacked my copy by adding:
from OpenGL.GL.ARB.shader_objects import glGetObjectParameterivARB as glGetObjectParameteriv
from OpenGL.GL.ARB.shader_objects import glGetInfoLogARB as glGetInfoLog

which made it work.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 6000 with an ATI video card (fglrx driver 7.1.0-8.37.6+2.6.22.4-14.10 in xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu13):
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

It does not occur in 8.10. Thanks.
