Cameron,

 

Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction. The CRJ does indeed look for libGLEW.so.1.6 but cannot find it because the latest Ubuntu uses libGLEW.so.1.8 . The easiest way to correct this is to create a symbolic link.

 

libGLEW.so.1.8 on my system is found in directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ .

 

According to Philipp, "...  first load the libraries locally from the liblinux/ subdirectory of the plugin before it goes to the system location like /usr/local/lib/ /usr/lib/ and all the others. So you can safely try this without screwing up anything else on your system."

 

This directory is located in the CRJ installation location at :

 

X-Plane 10/Aircraft/X-Aviation/Bombardier CRJ-200/plugins/CRJAvionics/64/liblinux/

 

Therefore to create the symbolic link, move to the above directory in the terminal command line then enter :

 

 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so.1.8 libGLEW.so.1.6

 

For the link command the absolute pathname to the linked file is required.

 

To test for the link, enter :

 

ls -l libGLEW*

 

... which should produce :

 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 bill bill 40 Dec 29 23:53 libGLEW.so.1.6 -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so.1.8
 
And bingo! It works! The displays now ... display ... but the display light switch still does not function.

What exactly do you mean by the display light switch? If you are referring to the display brightness rotary, then this is no surprising, because the dimming is simply not simulated on the CRJ.
