[AWIPS #WJL-121083]: Cave "Could not find valid extension for class": errors

Hi there,

I'm sorry CAVE is giving you issues on your CentOS machines. My first idea has 
to do with 
a possible issue with the graphics card.  Do you know what graphics cards are 
running on 
the CentOS machines?  Also, could you send us the output from running this 
command in the
terminal: 
glxinfo

Hopefully we can get this worked out for you.
Thanks!
