I’m having trouble installing visual python, I’ve downloaded the source package from http://vpython.org/contents/download_linux.html as I couldn’t find it on yast. On calling ./configure most tests are passed but I get an error which says I need gtkglextmm 1.2 checking in Yast I see this is already installed. Looking in the install.txt it talks about this error and suggests renaming some files, I’m not keen to do this for fear of breaking something else but as it turns out they are already named what they need to be anyway. ??? Now I’m truly stumped. Any help would be massively appreciated If more details are needed I’ll need to be told what to do as I’ve exhausted my tech knowledge.
Thanks
You may need the dev (development) package for that lib. The normal lib is fine for running things but you need the dev package to link to other source code
I think that’s what I’ve got the problem is the dependencies.
I found it on yast by searching python-visual but it says I need libboost_python.so.1.38.0()(64bit) I have 1.42 installed and can’t seem to get 1.38 anywhere. I’ve tried adding older OSS repositories but have still had no luck. On the plus side now I can choose between 1.36 and 1.39, grrrrrrr stupid computer.
Any ideas?
Still stuck on this, any ideas would be wonderful as I need this to do my computing coursework.
You need the source files. Should be in the source repo.
