[Visualpython-users] VPython compile problems - Mandrake 8.1

[rod h. <rh...@St...>]

To list:

I will start with a general explanation and provide more details later if
needed.

1. I am compiling on Mandrake 8.1
2. Python 2.2, Idle-Fork, and Numeric are installed and functioning
3. Two problems arise with installing VPython
	a. the gtkglarea.rpm installation process (from the install script) says
it is already installed and then spits out a long list of database 	errors
- then the script continues to compilation of cvisual.
	b. the compilation of cvisual always ends in a seg fault - usually in
vthread.h.

What I have tried so far-
1) using the gtkglarea libs from the Mandrake disks and commenting out the
rpm process from the install script.
2) commenting out the offending lines in the include files that generate
seg faults

Neither work.  Are there any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rod
