A Small Issue With the Current Release
The current release is missing one dependency to run the sample player. FreeGLUT is used to control the opening of the OpenGL window. We will be making a new release fairly soon. In the mean time the simplest way to get the dependency is to run the Tao Framework SDK installer. This is the library we use to access FreeGLUT in a cross platform way.
You can download it from the Project Page on Source Forge.
UPDATE: Some users have experienced problems with using old graphics card drivers. Updating to the latest drivers from the manufactures site will usually fix this.
