Try the included patch.  slviewer requests a 24 bit depth buffer, and
the software mesa driver only provides a 16 bit depth buffer.  One of
these days I should rework the patch to find out what is available
instead of just blindly trying a 16 bit depth buffer.

This will let you make progress, slowly rendered progress though.  Or
do you have a hardware accelerated graphics card that doesn't support
a 24 bit depth buffer?  Just look at the output of glxinfo in the column.
