Installation Guide for Debian/Ubuntu

1. Install Octave, Boost, and ODE

Octave
Install the packages, octave3.0 and octave3.0-headers.
 $ sudo apt-get -f install octave3.0 octave3.0-headers
Note: octave3.2 is not supported now.
Boost C++ Libraries
Install libboost1.40-all-dev.
 $ sudo apt-get -f install libboost1.40-all-dev
Open Dynamics Engine (ODE)
Since the binary package of ODE does not provide libdrawstuff, we compile ODE from the source code. First of all, we need to install OpenGL:
 $ sudo apt-get -f install libglut3 libglut3-dev
Then, download the source code (e.g. ode-0.11.1.zip) and extract it:
 $ cd ~/lib
 $ unzip ode-0.11.1.zip
 $ cd ode-0.11.1/
Execute ./configure (maybe you need to install the other packages):
 $ ./configure --enable-double-precision
Here, --enable-double-precision is required for the SkyAI's demo. If the configure succeeded, execute the make command:
 $ make
That's it. You need NOT to execute 'make install'.
