Installation guide
From Psychosynth
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 Anyways, I suggest installing liblo from the original sources because the version in the repositories is outdated and contains a bug: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 libceguiogre-dev libois-dev libcegui-mk2-dev libasound2-dev libjack-dev liblo0-dev libsndfile-dev libxml2-dev libsoundtouch1-dev libvorbis-dev libboost-serialization1.35-dev libboost1.35-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev
Installing
If you downloaded the program from Git 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
Troubleshooting
You must add this repository to your sources.list and update Ogre and Cegui to their latest versions:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/andrewfenn/ubuntu hardy main
On Ubuntu 8.04 I can't find Boost 0.35
You can find proper .deb packages here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/boost1.35/
On Ubuntu 8.04 I have properly installed libsoundtouch but it is not detected
Run this command before executing configure:
sed s/soundtouch-1.0/libSoundTouch/ configure > configure
