Found Fedora 7 and 9 rpms of VPython but they will not install. They gripe about not having boost-python and libxml installed though both of those verify as already installed. Dr. Paul J.

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.
