Somehow I feel that the situation is not completely clear, yet. I googled against "BOINC glut" and came up with several sites that explain that the BOINC graphics are to be implemented with glut. Hm. Still, however, I have not seen some explicit notion that the machine executing the client is supposed to have glut installed or if that would be a volunteer contribution to the BOINC-executed scientific app.
And should the boinc-client, which executes the boinc-application, be the one that recommends libglut3? Or should it be the manager, without which one will most likely not see the graphics in the first place?
