These are my notes on how to install WebCL and WebGL in Firefox 6.0 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
- Install Firefox 6 from http://firefox.com/
- Go to http://webcl.nokiaresearch.com/ and install the WebCL plugin
- Install libosmesa6 via synaptic or run
sudo apt-get install libosmesa6
- Start firefox and go to the url “about:config”.
- Set
webgl.force-enabled=true
webgl.osmesalib=/usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6
webgl.prefer-native-gl=true - Restart firefox
- Go to http://webcl.nokiaresearch.com/ again and run steps 3-5 to see if everything works.
If it doesn’t work, starting firefox from a terminal may help you. Runtime error messages from Firefox are displayed there.
Good luck!
I also need to set webgl.force_osmesa=true to work (FF9)
@Steffe: Thanks so much! You saved my day
@Aurium: In my case, webgl.force_osmesa=true causes some problems (FF13).
