I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a Windows machine and tried to compile Visual. I'm stuck in the configure phase and wonder whether someone can help me get unstuck. gtkglextmm depends on gtkmm-2.4, which the configure machinery finds okay (/usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4) despite there being nothing in /usr/lib/pkgconfig about gtkmm-2.4. gtkglextmm also depends on gdkglextmm, which in turn depends on gdkmm-2.4, which the configure machinery claims doesn't exist despite the existence of /usr/lib/libgdkmm-2.4 (as with gtkmm, there's nothing about gdkmm in /usr/lib/pkgconfig). So my question is, how does the configure machinery find /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4 but not /usr/lib/libgdkmm-2.4? And what should I do to compile the latest source? Whoever packaged the working python-visual package for Ubuntu 10.04 presumably didn't have my problem, or got around it somehow. When I examine the Ubuntu source used to create the package, I don't see any difference in the configure machinery. Bruce P.S. I should comment that some auxiliary files, such as the cactus photo in stonehenge.py, are missing from the Ubuntu package. That's my fault; I discovered only rather recently that the make procedure for Linux didn't include a couple of these auxiliary files. |

Usually the headers are in specific "-dev" packages on Debian/Ubuntu systems, as they're not strictly needed for execution, but only for building (development). If I search on my system for a libgdkmm header, this is what I get: $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/gdkmm-2.4/include/gdkmmconfig.h libgtkmm-2.4-dev: /usr/lib/gdkmm-2.4/include/gdkmmconfig.h Same with this one: $ dpkg -S /usr/include/gdkmm-2.4/gdkmm.h libgtkmm-2.4-dev: /usr/include/gdkmm-2.4/gdkmm.h So, try installing the package "libgtkmm-2.4-dev". One thing I often found useful in getting the right packages in was to do an "apt-get build-dep <package name>". So in this case "apt-get build-dep python- visual". This resolved the build dependencies of the python-visual packages as it is in the repositories, but as changes were often incremental, most of the -dev packages were pulled in this way already, and I've had a whole lot less to worry about.

Thanks much, Guy. Your help got me most of the way through compiling,
though I'm currently stopped in the final linking phase with "cannot
find -lboost_python-mt", which puzzles me.<br>
<br>
Some time ago I found the following on the web, which turns out to be
relevant for Boost 1.40 on Ubuntu 10.04: "Furthermore building pyrap
with boost-1.37 and gcc-4.3.2 gave an error due to a missing include.
The following patch has to be applied to boost:"<br>

I'm more and more curious about how someone built the python-visual
package for Ubuntu 10.04, using ostensibly the same source and build
procedures.<br>
<br>
Bruce<br>
<br>
P.S. Yeah, I misspoke about "clean" install. What I meant was I'd done
a dual-boot install on a Windows machine, and by "clean" I meant that I
started from scratch rather than upgrading from an earlier version of
Ubuntu.<br>

I'm going through the same problems with 10.04: apt-get install python-visual by itself appears to work but any attempts to create any visual objects crash python with a random assortment of gtkgl/opengl errors. Here's the method I've found that works: apt-get install libboost-python-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-thread-dev apt-get install libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-0 libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev apt-get install gtkgl-dev apt-get install python-gtkglext1 apt-get install python-visual Some of that may be redundant, and the order may or may not be important; but I am now reasonably certain that on a fresh 64-bit install of 10.04 on a Core2Duo, those commands in that order will give me a working sphere(). They give me vpython 5.12, which I know is not the latest version but after the absurd amount of time I've blown on this problem I really don't care whether it's the latest or not! -ea -- --- ----- ------- ----------- ------------- Dr. Eric Ayars Associate Professor of Physics California State University, Chico ay...@ma...

If you're then just using a binary packaged version of python-visual, you do not need the "*-dev" packages. These are *only* required for building/compiling. So you may want to try to chuck these out and see if it still works (it should). On a side note, I've found that aptitude instead of apt-get is better at resolving dependencies, and it keeps the system cleaner, as it knows and tracks what packages were installed purely as a dependency, and it kicks them out automatically again as soon as they're orphaned. It should be for most purposes a drop in replacement for apt-get. Guy -- Guy K.

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. On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 7:07 PM, Guy K.

This bug seems to come up when there is a new release of Ubuntu. Last fall (or winter, can't remember) when I ran into the problem, the discussion on this list seemed to indicate that we file bug reports. So, I posted a comment to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482928 All the discussions I've read seemed to indicate that there is a problem with how python is making the opengl calls. For whatever reason, it only works when the -dev package is installed, which is not how python normally works. One of the debian maintainers submitted a fix that now requires the -dev package to be included on installs of python-visual. I don't think that is an ideal fix, but from an end user standpoint (assuming this trickles down to ubuntu) it should work all right. I'm no developer, so I can't really complain, but I was hoping it would be fixed in a better way.
