Describe the bug
Install MuJoCo via pip3 install -U 'mujoco-py<1.50.2,>=1.50.1', I got
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
I could open the simulation by running ../mjpro150/bin: $ ./simulate ../model/humanoid.xml, but the prompt window closes in a very short time.
To Reproduce
The mjkey.txt is placed in /home/libowu/.mujoco/. Add the environment variable with $LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/libowu/.mujoco/mjpro150/bin.
Then run pip3 install -U 'mujoco-py<1.50.2,>=1.50.1.
