Hi,

I just tried to install the samples rpm and the latest binary for linux
RH6 and found a few strange things.  First installing the samples I get

user dthompsn does not exist - using root
group dthompsn does not exist - using root
...

Sorry David...

Then on Upgrading opendx I get

# rpm -Uvh opendx-4.1.0-1.i386.rpm 
file /usr/local/dx/java/htmlpages/Makefile.in from install of
opendx-4.1.0-1 conflicts with file from package opendx-samples-4.1.0-1
file /usr/local/dx/java/htmlpages/samples.jar from install of
opendx-4.1.0-1 conflicts with file from package opendx-samples-4.1.0-1

--force will certainly make the install go through, but are the
samples.jar the same?

Finally, am I missing something?  I did not yet install the opengl rpm
which Suhaib built, but dx executes fine.  If the opengl libs are
dynamically linked then shouldn't this error?
