Yes, i felt offended. Because it exists for 2 years for now.
And your just saying to people that it doesn't exists, just because
you loaded wrong/outdated config.
You could just search mailing list (dated back to 2010 when it was
first released),
before/instead of doing any conclusions.
Because if i would miss this mail: you/your student would be just
wasting precious time trying to
make something which already exists.
Now tell me, who should care more about your time, me or yourself?

Look, Alex... by analogy, i can download Squeak 3.9 image
and state that Pharo doesn't exists on pharo mailing list... and
nothing wrong in thinking that.

What version you are using?

NBGLContextDriver allSubclasses an
OrderedCollection(NBMacGLContextDriver NBWin32GLContextDriver
NBGLXContextDriver)

I can imagine NBOpenGL is to interact with OpenGL. Maybe "NB" stands for NativeBoost. But NBXLib no idea. Oh well... Maybe for the X-Server? But is this related to OpenGL?

Yes it is related. Linux desktop uses X server, to initialize OpenGL
context there you must create
an X window first.

For all 'maybes' , google has an answer: try googling 'opengl linux'
click on 1st hit , and read linux section:
" Linux

Graphics on Linux is almost exclusively implemented using the X
windows system. Supporting OpenGL on Linux involves using GLX
extensions to the X Server.

Now imagine, that the problems you had to deal with, is a norm in C
world for anything: missing dependencies, found it, but it doesn't
compiles, compiled but it doesn't works, works but sometimes crashes
etc etc.
