Trouble installing native extensions on Linux 64 bit

[Mon-Ouie]

Basically, you did. .p

You have the right dependency, but not the right version. You need GLEW 1.6 at least to be able to compile Ray.

well thanks for the quick feedback. Unfortunately glew 1.6 isn't in my repos.. I'll see if I can get it from somewhere else.

I'll leave this open and close it when it runs with 1.6 or I don't find an easy way to get glew 1.6 without messing with my packages.

Thanks!

PragTob - if you're running on debian/ubuntu, I think you'll just need to install manually from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/1.7.0/glew-1.7.0.tgz/download

It's a pretty painless install. If you're gonna wait for it to be added, it may be some time....

Hey guys,

thanks for the support. I was rather busy (hard ruby course) at the time so sorry for the very late answer. With some workarounds I managed to get ray working, thank you very much! Now that I have the time I might get around to play a bit with ray!

cheerio!
