Hi Philip,

As I said in the previous e-mail, the 'daily' folder just contains the 
Windows prebuilt binary file. If you want pythonOCC to work on your 
machine, you have to get the source code from the subversion repository 
and compile the solution.

Linux environment is quite heterogen compared to Windows or MacOSX: 
there are so many different Linux distributions, with many package 
management tools (apt, rpm, rpmdrake, yast, yum etc.) that it is 
impossible for me to provide and maintain packages for each 
distribution. Linux packaging require skills I do not have and I don't 
want either to spend time on that issue. This is the way I chose:

- we work on a scons build script that makes the compilation of 
pythonOCC really portable to every Linux distribution (the needed 
dependencies are only SWIG, available on most platforms, and the 
OpenCascade library),

- each Linux user of pythonOCC, when he's done with the build stuff, can 
provide a package for his specific distribution. This his then a way to 
contribute to the project, and I, on my side, can focus on problems that 
match my skills (the right man at the right place).

If you use Ubuntu 8.04, I can send you a zip archive of my 'OCC' folder 
(but it's really an *awful* way to distribute a binary solution).

Best Regards,

Thomas
