[Visualpython-users] Ubuntu

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I managed to build the latest VPython on the latest Ubuntu (10.04), both 
32-bit and 64-bit.

As I reported earlier, there was a problem that the linker objected to 
-lboost_python-mt. The solution was to change the reference in the src 
Makefile to -lboost_python. Apparently there has been some change in the 
Boost machinery that made this necessary.

There is at least one remaining problem. 3D text fails for all choices 
of font, with the error message that something is wrong with the 
specified font.
