[gts-general] problems with compilation of gtsview

[Erik A. <er...@co...>]

I am trying to figure out if I can make use of gts. However thats not a 
trivial task.
At first gts fails to compile in RedHat 7.3 and 8.0, only after adding 
the header file "zutil.h" to src/isotetra.c and tools/stl2gts.c it 
compiles.

Next I tried to compile gtsview such that I could visulize the results 
from the example programs.
However, when running ./configure it fails because GTKGL Area is 
missing. It tells that the
latest version of GTKGL Area "should be available from 
http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/gtkglarea/."
However its not, but there is a pointer to cvs.gnome.org. At first I 
looked for a stable version of gtkglarea,
and found the source for gtkglarea-1.2.2 somewhere. After compiling and 
installing this library the
configure program of gtsview still fails with "checking for gdk_gl_query 
in -lgtkgl... no". I think
Rob McDonald in May this year reported about the same problem. 
Unfortunately there is no reply and
I don't know if / how he succeeded in compiling gtsview.  

In short: Could someone, who have done this resently, please tell where 
to find a working version of gtkglarea,
how to download it (if it is from a cvs repository) and how to compile 
it. Perhaps that could also be included in
the README file for gtsview.

Thanks
 Erik
