Ubuntu 8.10 and Vdrift installation help.

[skyfire]

Hello. I recently started using Ubuntu 8.10 and I am looking to install Vdrift. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to begin. I have downloaded and extracted vdrift-08-05-08 and I also installed scons because I read that I might need that to install Vdrift. If there is anyone who could help me or walk-though my installation? It would be much appreciated! :-)

P.S.: I noticed my Bullet 2.66 folder was empty. Is this a potential problem?

You'll need to take a look at the compiling directions here:
http://wiki.vdrift.net/Compiling

Make sure to use the OLD Bullet compile directions.

I think I followed the instructions correctly, but here's the terminal read out when i use scons:

Code:

skyfire@ubuntu:~$ cd vdrift-08-05-08
skyfire@ubuntu:~/vdrift-08-05-08$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

You need to install the headers, libraries, etc. See the Prerequisites section on the Compiling article. I believe those are Ubuntu package names...
