I'm trying to install Paintstorm on the latest version of Linux Mint and I keep hitting a roadblock with one error:
E: Unable to locate package freeglut3
I downloaded the Paintstorm trial from their website using the Linux option which gave me a .tar.gz file to extract which I did.
I then ran:
cd /home/alex/Downloads
sudo chmod +x Paintstorm_linux_v2.50.run
sh ./Paintstorm_linux_v2.50.run
this installs Paintstorm and also attempts to install all required packages, but always errors out on freeglut3, resulting in
E: Unable to locate package freeglut3.
The Paintstorm application doesn't show up unless I search for it in file explorer and does nothing when clicked on.
Other forums have suggested installing freeglute3-dev instead which I have done and confirmed with "apt search" but this doesn't resolve the issue.
I believe Paintstorm is specifically looking for freeglut3 and I'm unsure how to install it. The freeglut3 website hosts several file versions of the package but I'm unsure which one I should use or how to install it.
