Thanks for the instructions, Alan. I tried this twice from scratch—SimGear configures & builds just fine, but CMake gets stuck trying to configure FlightGear. I set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as you said, and building "INSTALL" seems to have copied SimGear into that directory, but CMake can't find it; any ideas?
