[ODE] Installation trouble & compilation errors (ode-6.0 on Ubuntu)

[Michael Jones]

Hi,

I'm hoping to use the ODE for a project of mine but have had some trouble
installing it. I've downloaded ode-0.6 from sourceforge and am installing
it to my home directory on the latest version of Ubuntu.

I followed the instructions and the installation appeared to go smoothly.
However when I tried the test_ demos and get the following error:

test_ode: error while loading shared libraries: libode.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I have copies of libode.so in:
/usr/local/lib/libode.so
/home/mike/ode/ode/src/libode

Not sure why these aren't being picked up so, having no idea as to the
cause of this I copied over test_hinge.cpp (renamed to main.cpp) to a
separate directory and have tried to compile it myself. My makefile
executes the following two commands and gets the error shown.

g++ -D_LINUX_ -c  -g -Wall -DUNIX -funroll-loops -O3 -DUNIX -DLINUX
-I../include -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/home/mike/ode/include

I am a beginner at all this stuff but I've been trying all day to get it
right, Is there something obvious I'm missing? I've got a libdrawstuff.a
file in ~/ode/drawstuff/src/ but no .so, is this not needed?

Any help would be much appreciated,
Mike
