Hi All,
I have been away for a couple of weeks, so perhaps I have missed
something. When I tried to compile a fresh git version using
download_and_compile.sh, I noticed there were some updates in OSG. It
seems simgear is not in sync (yet?), though, because I am getting the
following error:

I was experimenting with the new water shader and local weather, and I

Make sure you have enough memory too. At least 4GB and a 64b OS seems
