Re: [Visualpython-users] Visual Python on Scientifc Linux?

[Frank W. S. <fr...@me...>]

I have not done it, but here are some suggestions.

1. Install gtkglextmm-devel too, and the -devel package for 
any other dependency that you see, e.g. gtkglext-devel and 
libXmu-devel and libglademm24-devel.

2. If you want to avoid compiling altogether, try installing 
a python-visual rpm from a slightly older 
version of Fedora (like Fedora 11, 12 or 13).   Often older 
Fedora packages will install on CentOS/RHEL.

3. Build python-visual from a Fedora source rpm.
rpmbuild --rebuild python-visual-etc-f12-src.rpm
This will require all the dependencies that are in (1), but 
you'll have a nice package for installation.
