How does one use Asymptote on TL

Hi Paulo,

coming back to that:

Do you have the respective glut package for your distribution isntalled?
It requires:

$ readelf -d ~/tl/2024/bin/x86_64-linux/asy | grep "Shared library"
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libGLX.so.0]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libglut.so.3]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [librt.so.1]

Can you try
	sudo apt-get install libglut3.12

Maybe that helps?
