Hi, I just tried following the tutorial http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-linux.php on a fresh install of Xubuntu 15.04 in Parallels. I did the updates and upgrades, then ran sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev. I also downloaded and extracted SFML-2.3.1 to my Documents folder, but I wasn't sure if I needed to do both. After following the steps, when trying to run the sfml-app I created, I get the message:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 74
Current serial number in output stream: 75
I also get the same error if I try it in Codeblocks. Can anyone tell me what this means? Did I need to also do something with the SFML download after I ran the sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev command or was that an either/or type of thing? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
