Hi,
I have just undergone compiling VPython for my Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) 32 bit
system. For my own sanity and convenience I have created a Debian package for
it using checkinstall. So it's just a dirty fix, with no dependency tracking,
etc. ... but it does help already quite a bit for myself.
What made the build particularly bad is libthreadpool, which is only offered
in version 0.2.5 for download. So it took a bit of searching paired with trial
and error until I could build VPython on my system with the shipped boost
libraries (1.34.1). If you wanna use it, make sure you install dependent
packages yourself, as this package won't help you on this one. I know off the
top of my head that the packages libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2 and libglademm-2.4-1c2a
are required (besides the obvious of Python, boost, etc.)
If anybody is interested, it can be found here:
