Re: [Visualpython-users] Compiling on Ubuntu 10.04

FWIW, I can confirm Eric's observation.

I recently installed vpython (Ubuntu's version) on my older machine which
has 32-bit Ubuntu-10.04.

If we just install vpython it doesn't seem to pull all the dependencies.
When running, it shows some obscure opengl errors.

Then if we do,

apt-get install libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev

it works. Probably a dependency bug.

Bye,
Venkat.
