Ok… I know I’m a glutten for punishment… I reformatted my drive and decide to give the OCC deb files a drive.
I’ll probably do this a again when Hardy Heron comes out so her it goes..
At this point, I’m on clean Gutsy Gibbon, with a current updates…. I”m told this can be done in 10 Minutes….
I’m not sure if this will happen with my connection…. Anyway….
The down load instructions I got are:
Here’s the procedure:
- Download (wget or browser):
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/libopencascade6.2 -0_6.2.0-7_amd64.deb
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/libopencascade6.2 -dev_6.2.0-7_amd64.deb
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/opencascade-doc_6 .2.0-7_all.deb
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/opencascade -examples_6.2.0-7_all.deb
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/opencascade-tools _6.2.0-7_amd64.deb - Install each .deb as root using “dpkg -i *.deb”
- Run (as root) “apt-get -f install” to get any missing dependencies
Ok…. Need to do a little pre-research here…:
- Debian FAQ: Basics of the Debian package management system
- Article on what to do with .deb files
- Gdebi
Well… Off the bat… This this probably is going to be a problem, since I don’t have a 64 bit processor….
I suppose I try one and see what happens:
