Bug#1012778: asymptote: Asymptote can't render static images

[Jean-Philippe Georget <debian@jpgeorget.net>]

Package: asymptote
Version: 2.83+ds-1+b1

Dear Maintainer,

I tried this simple example from the manual in a test3D.asy file:

   import three;
   currentprojection=orthographic(5,4,2,center=true);
   size(5cm);
   size3(3cm,5cm,8cm);
   draw(unitbox);
   dot(unitbox,red);
   label("$O$",(0,0,0),NW);
   label("(1,0,0)",(1,0,0),S);
   label("(0,1,0)",(0,1,0),E);
   label("(0,0,1)",(0,0,1),Z);


>From a bash shell, I launched:

    asy test3D.asy


The file didn't compile correctly and I obtained this message:

    X Error of failed request:  GLXBadFBConfig
      Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
      Minor opcode of failed request:  0 ()
      Serial number of failed request:  46
      Current serial number in output stream:  46


I tried your proposal with:

    export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5
    asy test3D.asy

Then the asy file didn't compile correctly and I obtained the following message:


    0:1(10): error: GLSL 3.00 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, 3.30, 1.00 ES, and 3.00 ES
