To compile Visual 4 beta on Ubuntu 7.10 one needs the missing package
gtkglextmm, which can be difficult to build from source. The binaries
are now available in the "For developers" section of vpython.org.
(But note that at the moment the newest source files for Visual 4 in CVS
don't build properly due to work in progress on a new approach to
handling mouse events. Visual 4 beta tarballs available at sourceforge
should however build okay.)
