HOWTO

# PyOpenGL 2.0.1.09
# =================
# Prerequisites:
# python >= 2.2.0
# tcl/tk
# OpenGL and GLU (both come with XFree86 and X.org)
# GLUT (Slackware 8.1 through 10.2 (8.1 and 9.0 in 'pasture', 9.1 and up not)
# include a glut package for version 3.7)
# Python Imaging Library (PIL)
# Numerical Python (optional; I haven't tried it)

# This actually looks for a DISPLAY environment variable, so you'll
# probably want to be running X as root when you install this.
