Hello,


These are the things I encountered when installing pyode (cvs version).

- For a build against a recent ode (svn version), I req'd a modified
  setup.py 
  I used a modified version of this one:
  http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-python/pyode/files/

- pyrex is listed as a development requirement only in INSTALL
  However, I could not build pyode without it.

- Tutorial3 showed rendering artefacts (backfaces were being drawn)
  See: http://stolk.org/tmp/artefact-pyode.png

  I had to add this:
    glCullFace(GL_BACK)
    glFrontFace(GL_CCW)
    glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE)

- vehicle.py aborts because glutInit() was not called

- vehicle.py gives:
  ODE Message 2: inertia must be positive definite! in dBodySetMass()

- tutorial3.py gives:
  ODE Message 2: vector has zero size in dNormalize4()
