First of all you must get a copy of the sources of this program. Go to the download section if you do not have them yet. Note that this document is only to install from the sources -if there is a binary package for your distribution, use that instead.

Dependencies

Then, to try the software you will need these third party libraries and programs:

In Debian and Ubuntu you can install all those dependencies with the following command. Anyways, I suggest installing liblo from the original sources because the version in the repositories is outdated and contains a bug:

apt-get install automake libtool libogre-dev libois-dev libcegui-mk2-dev libasound2-dev libjack-dev liblo0-dev libsndfile-dev libxml2-dev libsoundtouch1-dev libvorbis-dev

When installing using bzr files previous you have to install some dependencies before (tested on lenny), use dpkg -l |grep libboost to check that previous version is not installed, if is installed remove all packets that shows the output of dpkg -l |grep liboost

# apt-get install libboost-serialization1.35-dev libboost1.35-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev

then continue with the following installation

# autoreconf

# ./configure

# make

and then run the program located on src/psynth3d

--- when you run psynth3d it works but asks for selecting renderer, but when you push de button the program closes and gives that output:

# ./psynth3d

Installing

If you downloaded the program from Bazaar you will first need to generate the compilation scripts:

autoreconf

Now you will need to run the configuration script to detect the the libraries and set up the compilation settings.

./configure

Check that everything has been detected correctly and then compile the program:

make

At last we must run these commands with superuser privileges to install:

make install
ldconfig

We can now run the 3D simulator:

psynth3d
