Q: We get the following error message whenever we start CFX-Post from CFX-5.7 on one of our SUN machines:

ld.so.1: /export/home/cfx5.7/CFX-5.7/bin/solaris/PostGui_ogl: fatal: /usr/openwin/lib/libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
An error has occurred in cfx5post:

/export/home/cfx5.7/CFX-5.7/bin/solaris/PostGui_ogl was interrupted by
signal KILL (9)

A similar message is given with CFX-Pre.

DN replied:
The hardware graphics on the SUN are the fault here. You can try running CFX-Post in software mode (and CFX-Pre also) by typing:

cfx5pre -gr mesa
cfx5post -gr mesa

If these commands work for you then you can make it the default that CFX-Post and CFX-Pre use software mode by creating a file called cfx5rc in the directory config/5.7 of the CFX-5.7 software installation, containing just one line:

CUE_GRAPHICS="mesa"

Create the directory config/5.7 if this does not exist already.

Once you have done this then typing cfx5post or cfx5pre will automatically use software mode so you don't now need to add "-gr mesa" and also software mode will be used when you use the CFX-Pre or CFX-Post buttons on the CFX-5.7 Launcher.
