I'm Trying this, Building terragear-cs in Ubuntu 64, but:

[trennor]

I've had many attempts and failures in building the FlightGear system on my puter. I tried the famous script, and it doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.04, insofar as getting the mapping libraries and plib, simgear, etc. loaded properly, and so FG 1.9 will load from a .tar.gz. I'm now attempting to build plib, terragear, etc, using: http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Bu ... _Ubuntu_64 . Lest I sound like I know what I'm doing, I don't. I'm a user, I'm afraid, who knows just enough to be dangerous and get myself (and others) into trouble (and I hope you see my tongue in my cheek as I say this.) I am not a geek.
My current roadblock is:

step 9, Go to to the directory simgear to start the compilation. Remember that when we download source code with a cvs software as git or svn we need to:

and it instructs one to cd into simgear directory, and run ./autogen.sh.

Except, on my system, autogen.sh isn't in the directory. Lest I mess things up any further -- I've elected to halt until ( I hope ) someone can talk me through the rest of the process. I really want this to succeed. I've flown a few times already, having just got my graphics card and joystick installed, and I'm loving it. Now, I want the whole moxie.

Thanks, guys.

Hi trennor
If autogen.sh is missing that means something went wrong with cvs checkout.
