Or any other Red Hat derived linux, like CentOS, would probably help.
I can't find a package or I'd go that route. Building from source produces
an error during configure that I need gtkglextmm 1.2. I downloaded that
and successfully (apparently -- no error messages) made it. But then
trying to configure VPython produces the same error. I also found an rpm
for gtkglextmm, installed it (again apparently successfully) and Vpython
still won't configure.
I am now officially at my wits end. Has anyone else managed to do this?

Where do you have the gtkglextmm from? You also need to install gtkglextmm-devel for proper building. > I am now officially at my wits end. Has anyone else managed to do this? I just tried to build in on EPEL, but I couldn't find gtkglextmm-devel: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/3390/4473390/root.log Greetings, Tom |

I have not done it, but here are some suggestions. 1. Install gtkglextmm-devel too, and the -devel package for any other dependency that you see, e.g. gtkglext-devel and libXmu-devel and libglademm24-devel. 2. If you want to avoid compiling altogether, try installing a python-visual rpm from a slightly older version of Fedora (like Fedora 11, 12 or 13). Often older Fedora packages will install on CentOS/RHEL. 3. Build python-visual from a Fedora source rpm. rpmbuild --rebuild python-visual-etc-f12-src.rpm This will require all the dependencies that are in (1), but you'll have a nice package for installation.

Thanks for the advice but this is not working for me and I don't have
additional time to spend on it right now. I run into the following
problems:
1. Can't apparently have gtkglextmm-devel. It is not in any of the
Scientific Linux repositories, nor rpmforge nor atrpms. An rpm can be
located on the web and downloaded, and the installation appears to
complete but it doesn't actually do anything.
2. The earliest Fedora version I can locate is 15 for which there are a
host of dependency failures. To wit:
3. Wants Python 2.7 and SL only goes up to 2.6. That I took care of.
4. Wants glibc 3.4.15 but glibc doesn't appear to exist in a version
higher than 2.14
5. Wants the boost libraries which I installed yesterday. Or appeared to.
Could have been like #1 above.
6. Wants gtkglextmm (not devel) but yum tells me that is already
installed.
In short, it looks like a conflict between the dependency demands of
visual python for fedora 15, some broken packages, and the long term
stability needs of SL. Since this isn't a critical need at the moment, I
don't think I want to wade into this swamp unless someone has an idea I
haven't thought of.

Found Fedora 7 and 9 rpms of VPython but they will not install. They gripe
about not having boost-python and libxml installed though both of those
verify as already installed.
