[PyOpenGL-Users] Trying to build PyOpenGL on Fedora Core 4

[Chad S. <po...@ya...>]

The

python setup.py install

command fails. Here's the output:

Looks like it's conflicting with the standard GL C libs?

Any suggestions?

I should have asked this earlier, but to be sure; do you have the 
correct version of SWIG installed?  I have just added a table to the 
installation page that shows the correct versions for a given PyOpenGL 
version (basically SWIG 1.3.23 for PyOpenGL 2.0.2, SWIG 1.3.13 for 
PyOpenGL 2.0.1).  Otherwise you should not be running the "build" 
command (which install does by default if you don't tell it not to).

If you are building from a source tarball and don't need to customise 
the wrappers, you should install with:

    python setup.py build_ext install

rather than:

    python setup.py install

as the default install will try to rebuild the wrappers for you.

You will likely need to blow away your current directory and unpack the 
source code again to make that work.

I've just built the whole package from scratch from CVS on Gentoo Linux, 
incidentally. It built without complaint and runs those few demos I've 
tried.

Hope this helps somewhat,
Mike
