Re: [linrad] Install SVGALIB Problems

I had a fair bit of trouble with svgalib.
In the end I ignored a lot of errors and the so.1 libraries 
(libvga.so.1.4.3 and libvgagl.so.1.4.3) were present after compiling.
I ended up copying them to the relevant directory (/usr/lib I think) as 
ligvga.so.1 and libvgagl.so.1 and linrad would work after about 3 days 
of struggle!

In my quest to become more competent at programming I have been working 
through the Kdevelop and Qt Designer tutorials. These are better than 
ever as an IDE for development
Trolltech/Qt has an embedded version which is designed to run on cut 
down embedded Linux Platforms. This does not
use the X graphics server but rather uses direct graphics routines 
similar to svgalib.
To the programming experts - Could Linrad be easily adapted to use these?
If and when I get up to speed I would be willing to do some work on 
this. However it may well be a gigantic task.
