Osmesa for mujoco installation

[Predrag Punosevac]

Hi Viraj,

osmesa.h is a header file for the software you are trying to compile.
You don't have write privileges in system directories but you have
access to
UNIX filters find, grep and also to shell. If that is not enough RHEL
is shipped with Python (I prefer Perl for sys admin). Thus you can
find two scripting languages on each of our machines. This is a very
easy question to answer for a CMU CS student.

Source code you want to compile definitely can have any location as
well as produced obj code and binaries. Even missing dependencies if
any should be easy to add using /opt/conda3 on RHEL 8.2 which GPU20 is
running.

Please re-read Anthony's yesterday email. He and I might have a
different taste when it comes to certain tools/software but he really
knows what he is talking about. He also took the time to write that
long email to educate all of us.

Cheers,
Predrag

Cheers,
Predrag

I was able to get a license for the machine and to download the appropriate software from their website and the mujoco-py repository. However, when I actually try to run the  Mujoco gym environments, I am running into gcc compilation errors around a missing copy of osmesa.h. Do you know whether we have that installed or if it would be possible to do so?
