./configure ./make Without a lot of additional parameters, we can build and use the stable version of OSG, that is what i do, waiting for the next stable realease, instead of permanently updating it with the last svn. This is simple and untersatandable to any person mainly whose the world of development is the past (far away), like for me. and usable to any person who is not spending full time in front of their computer. I hope i misunderstand , and what you say is not an other difficulty for us. Or this will be the end , at least for me, to work on the fg cvs version. freezing it to any new stable version.
