[Visualpython-users] install/compile error

[Nathan M. <nt...@gm...>]

g++: /usr/lib/libgtkgl.so: No such file or directory

I'm trying to install visual on a i386 box that's running scientific linux,
v5.1.  This version of linux is basically Red Hat Enterprise.  I've already
tried the fedora 7 rpms and they don't work (a similar failure)

a search for the library cited above yields,


[root@pilgrim build]# locate libgtkgl.so
/root/gtkglarea-1.2.3/gtkgl/.libs/libgtkgl.so
/root/gtkglarea-1.2.3/gtkgl/.libs/libgtkgl.so.5
/root/gtkglarea-1.2.3/gtkgl/.libs/libgtkgl.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libgtkgl.so.5
/usr/lib/libgtkgl.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgtkgl.so.5.0.0.debug
/usr/local/lib/libgtkgl.so
/usr/local/lib/libgtkgl.so.5
/usr/local/lib/libgtkgl.so.5.0.0

How do I specify one of these library locations?  to be specific, when I try
the following configure command, things don't work:

 ../visual-3.2.9/configure -prefix=/usr/local/

then, make fails with
g++ -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../crti.o

Any ideas?
