Followed the instructions for openVRMl and failed

[kwame]

Ok, I tried to install openVRML and followed the instructions in your readme file.

when I run:
fink -b install mozilla-dev

I get:
Information about 2161 packages read in 4 seconds.
No packages to install.

meaning, all packages have been installed.

when I run:
fink install openvrml4-dev openvrml-gl5-dev

I get:
Information about 2161 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'openvrml4-dev'!

I downloaded openvrml-0.14.2 and openvrml-0.15.6. and tried to install them but was also unsuccessful, when I configure OpenVRML I get this:

checking for OpenGL library... -lGL
checking for OpenGL Utility library... -lGLU
checking for sdl-config... no
checking for SDL - version >= 0.11.0... no
*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
*** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sdl-config.
checking for JNI library... no
checking dejagnu.h usability... no
checking dejagnu.h presence... no
checking for dejagnu.h... no
configure: error: The Java Native Interface is required for Script node Java support.
See `config.log' for more details.

and when I run:
Kwame:~/Desktop/openvrml-0.15.6 kwame$ make

I get:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.


thank you for your patience, but I really want to get simpleVRML to work so I can explore other WRLs in augmented space.

You need to allow use of the so called "unstable" package tree in Fink, because that is where OpenVRML is. You can do this using FinkCommander (recommended) or by manually editing /sw/etc/fink.conf.

Then you should be able to install OpenVRML-0.14.3. OpenVRML-0.15.1 and later are not yet in the Fink tree, as they involve some radically different code dependencies which make installation much more complex.
