A course has just started on coursera.org that uses vpython as a software tool.
It appears openSUSE 12.3 does not provide a package for this - the closest appears to be mayavi.
Source files for vpython are available, requiring boost as one of the dependencies.
During the python setup.py build I get this error:
Exploring my available boost libraries I have
where the second item ending in py27 is a symlink I inserted to python-mt.so hoping that this would satisfy the dependency but no go.
Just wondering if anyone has vpython running, or whether I'm missing something I can try in the python build?
