Re: YAPSO in FC5

[Alexander Barth]

Hi Andres

Unfortunately, OSMesa is not longer in Fedora (it used to be in xorg-x11-devel 
in Fedora 4). I
compiled it myself from source 
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3). I use the
development release is 6.5.2. For me the easiest approach was to build static 
libraries with:

"make linux-x86-static"

You need to set some environment variables to show where the libraries are 
located before starting
octave:

export CPPFLAGS=-I/home/abarth/local64/Mesa-6.5.2/include/
export LDFLAGS="-L/home/abarth/local64/Mesa-6.5.2/lib  -lpthread"

Good luck!
Alex
