Thanks for the quick reply! The machine I am using now apparently supports only openGL 1.4 (says OpenGL Extensions Viewer) after updating to the latest driver. Probably this is a crappy Intel thing:-).
 
Starting the Mandelbrot example leads to the MessageNotUnderstood: GPGPU>>handleError:
where handleError: is send from GPGPU>>checkForFBO
 
checkForFBO
 "(adapted from David Fraught's code) Check for FBO support"
 "this is a pretty minimal check"
 | status |
 
 status := ogl extensions includes: #'GL_EXT_framebuffer_object'.
 status ifFalse:  [ self handleError: 'FBO is not supported\Try running:\GPUInfo new chkGLSLSupport' withCRs. ]
 
Clearly, 'GL_EXT_framebuffer_object' is not available on my system. (handleError: is not implemented in GPGPU, nor is the class GPUInfo available; maybe these were part of David's code?)

Do you have any information on the versions/settings for OpenGL and graphics drivers that are required to run this?
It uses features from OpenGL 1.5 so any card from the last couple of years should run it. Windows shouldn't be an issue, nor drivers (just make sure they're the latest I guess). It could be that your machines have crappy integrated graphics - try it on a machine with a recent discrete card & it should run.

Are you getting any errors BTW ?
