[MINC-users] installation problems

[Georgi Stoynev]

Hello,

Thanks to the link Andrew sent:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/pipermail/minc-users/2010-July/002792.html I
solved my problems with Display.

I did the same as Luis, only adding couple lines:

wget
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glut/glutg3-dev_3.7-25_all.deb
http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/f/freeglut/freeglut3-dev_2.4.0-6.1_amd64.deb,
then dpkg -i freeglut3-dev_2.4.0-6.1_amd64.deb
glutg3-dev_3.7-25_all.deb
(installing freeglut3-dev and glutg3-dev as mincbundle needs them)

echo "<package_name> hold" | dpkg --set-selections - same as Synaptic ->
Lock version (prevent upgrade on these packages).

Please note that apt-get dist-upgrade will override this settings:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto .

Also, I tried to reinstall mincbundle and now all works fine (the "Size
mismatch" error is gone)

Thank you,
George Stoynev
