Hi,
Thanks for your input. I have updated the guide with your recommended
procedure and a few more references. Kindly let me know if its OK.
There's a small thing to fix:
Bernds' Installation Routine
----------------------------Type the following steps as given by Bernd in Terminal to make a
backport of radiance
packages from Debian's Lenny/testing or Hardy (or upgrade to Hardy). Its
not tested but
hopefully should work:############################
sudo apt-get install devscripts fakeroot build-essential
sudo apt-get install debhelper libtiff4-dev libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev \
libxext-dev quilt tcsh docbook-to-man ed tk8.4dget -x \
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/radiance/radiance_3R9+20080530-4.dsc
that source version is outdated, so you have to do the following steps:
- open http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/radiance/ in a browser, search
for the .dsc file with the highest version number, copy its url.
- use dget -x <url>, where <url> is the location of the .dsc file you've just
copied. In case dget complains about unknown signatures, use dget -xu - the
option is new and not available in old versions of dget.
cd radiance-3R9+20080530
Thats would become
cd radiance-<version>
(replace <version> by the version of the downloaded source - ls -l will show
you the right directory name)
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i radiance*.deb
#############################
otherwise it should be fine.
Cheers,
Bernd
