I sent the following note to some colleagues but I think I failed to
send it to the whole VPython mailing list as I had intended. Joe Heafner
has kindly volunteered to look into making a Fink-based binary package.
If anyone else has expertise and the willingness to give Joe a hand,
please write to me, and I'll put all the interested parties in touch
with each other.
--------------------------------------
As we've all seen, it takes heroic efforts to install VPython on Mac
OSX, despite our partially successful efforts to simplify the situation.
The real solution would be a binary installer, so that people don't have
to install developer tools, do compiles, etc. Is there someone in the
VPython community with the knowledge and capability to produce a binary
installer? And/or a Fink package? This would be a big help. Thanks.
