Hi Braden,

thanks for the info, that got me one step further.
The default version of xulrunner on ubuntu 9.04 is 1.9.0, although there
is a package for version 1.9.1 which I installed now.
But now I get an error that I need spidermonkey.
Trying to install the spidermonkey package tells me that it has to
remove xulrunner 1.9.1. 

So, I have the impression, that It's not possible to build openvrml on
ubuntu 9.04 with the libraries from the repositories.
Could this be correct, or did somebody succeed?
