Hi guys, just reinstalled 7.10 last night, and saw Wings 3D in synaptic, cool little program....but i get an error...not sure if this is a video card issue(I have a GeForce 4) or the way it was compiled, if so why is it in the Ubuntu repository, here's the error:

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.5.5 [source] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

I have the restricted nvidia drivers up and running, my guess in a compiling error, any thought if this is fixable?

Kind regards

Don't know if this helps, but I installed Wings3D on my Gateway running 6.06, and it runs with no problem. It's possible that an error occurred during download- try removing and reinstalling the package. If that doesn't work, there may be a compatibility issue with the Legacy driver for your GeForce 4 GPU. Your readout does seem to indicate that possibility.
