Hi, I tried using Gl-Z on my linux machine. Didn’t work. Looks like there’s some missing plugins. Here’s the log. Thanks.

Please try the latest GL-Z 0.3.0 (download it from this page) which is based on GLSL Hacker 0.8.4 (you tried an old version). GL-Z 0.3.0 asks for an OpenGL 3.0 context instead of OpenGL 3.2 like in old versions. Let me know.
