[PPL-devel] static initialization interferes with OpenGL

[Manoj Rajagopalan]

Hi Roberto,

   I am using PPL v0.9.16 from one of the Fedora 8 repositories (fedora 
extras?). I am attaching a short C++ program to print out the OpenGL 
version. It requires GLUT.

   When I comment out the inclusion of ppl.hh the code runs. I built the 
executable with the command:

   g++ glversion.cpp -o glversion -lppl -lglut -lGLU -lGL

Thanks,
Manoj
