They've always worked for me (aside from the known rendering bugs sigh), but it used to be a fair amount of hassle to get them running on Debian. Currently, they rpm download seems to convert cleanly (using alien) into a deb that works for both Stable and Testing. You just need a single dpkg-divert to deal with one file that is unnecessarily duplicated. I suspect the biggest mistake people make, under Debian or similar, is to try the install _outside_ their distribution's packaging system. That drops your integrity to the level of a third party WinXP install. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
