Linux server: Could not create GL context

I’m trying to run a linux server instance on Ubuntu VMware but I’m getting this error in red in the console:

[2014.09.27-16.10.04:888][ 0]LogLinux:Error: appError called: _PlatformCreateOpenGLContextCore - Could not create OpenGL 3.2 context, SDL error: ‘Could not create GL context’
Signal 11 caught.

Is this because VMware doesn’t support openGL? If yes is there a way to build a dedicated server that doesn’t need gpu acceleration so we can run servers on Amazon EC2 for example?

I guess I have dealt with that quesiton on IRC, but for completeness: this most likely was not a server. Server should not attempt to create a GL context at all.

Yes you are right it was mistakenly a client build, not a server build. I’ve forgotten to write an answer to this question, Thank you RCL.
