[Visualpython-users] Ubuntu packages (Intrepid and Jaunty)

[Guy K. K. <g....@ma...>]

Hi,

I have just compiled some Debian packages using checkinstall for Ubuntu 
Intrepid and Jaunty. If you want, you can use them. They're here:

https://gutefee.massey.ac.nz/moin/Python/3D
(just accept as an exception the self signed certificate)

Let me know if you find something not working. Particularly on the Jaunty 
build I'm not very sure at all, as Jaunty now comes by default with Python 
2.6, which has created some headaches installing Mayavi2 already. But even 
though the default runtime is 2.6 now, I was able to run the samples 
sonehenge.py and doublependulum.py successfully. But YMMV. BTW, the .deb 
packages DO NOT contain any dependencies, so you will need to track those 
yourself!

Thanks for doing this. Is this for Visual 3 or Visual 5?

If it is Visual 5, what versions of Boost and numpy did you use? Do 
gas.py and stars.py, which make particular use of numpy, run okay?

As Visual 3 is available in the standard repositories already, I have built 
packages for Visual 5.

I've got some boost libraries in 1.34 and some in 1.35 available. But I 
suppose it's 1.35.

Regarding NumPy: On Jaunty 1.2.1 is current, so this one is used. On Intrepid 
it's some sort of 1.1.1.

Actually, I don't know how Canonical has managed to make numpy in a sub 1.3 
version work woth Python 2.6. Maybe it's just a subset, but for the samples it 
does seem to work. So I'm not complaining ... :)

I've still got a machine running Hardy around at uni. I'll see if I can build 
a package next week for that one, too. But no promises ... :)

Now you can find a version for Hardy here (totally untested):
