cant start Foldit

[Tom Sullivan]

My initial attempt to start Foldit generated the following error. Any help resolving this will be appreciated. Thanks. –Tom

tom@tom-Oryx-Pro:~/Foldit$ ./Foldit
Foldit Error: Could not load library: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Sounds like the solution to your issue can, in part, be found here:

In short: your *nix is missing the 'libglut' package.
