Installation
This page contains notes on how best to install Gnofract 4D on different OSes. If you have better instructions for your distribution or OS, please add them below.
Here are all the files for each release: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=785
[TOC]
Recommended if you want to compile Gnofract 4D yourself or look at how it works. Required if you use an OS or distribution not listed below.
Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnofract4d/gnofract4d-3.13.tar.gz?download
Unpack the package with: tar xzvf gnofract4d-3.13.tar.gz cd gnofract4d-3.13 ./setup.py build
If this doesn't work, see Compiler Problems
You can either run the package locally with "./gnofract4d" or install it with "./setup.py install" **** Dependencies:** To compile, you will need Python 2.6 or higher (but not Python 3.x), a C++ compiler such as g++, and header files for GTK2 and Python. Headers for Jpeglib and libpng are optional, but highly recommended - without them you can only use the extremely basic TGA file format.**
At runtime, you'll need PyGTK 2.12 or higher, and a C compiler.
Either compile from source (see above) or you can download the .deb package files. These should work with Ubuntu 9.04 or higher. I haven't tried Debian itself, but others report that the packages work with Debian unstable. A .deb is also under review for inclusion into the relevant distributions - if you can help out getting this into Debian or Ubuntu's repository, it would be much appreciated. Then a simple 'apt-get install gnofract4d' would suffice...
-
Download the .deb for your architecture from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=785
-
Install it: sudo dpkg -i <file you downloaded>.deb

Go to the folder with the downloaded .deb and right click on the downloaded package. Click on "open with deb package manager" from the menu.

I'm afraid I've stopped building RPMs as of 3.11 - it was just getting to be too much of a chore. Please compile from source, or search the web - some other folks package Gnofract 4D.
For older releases, you can: For Fedora Core 4 to 6, download the Python 2.4 RPM; For Fedora Core 7+, use the python2.5 RPMs.
Install with: rpm -i Run from the Applications > Graphics menu or run 'gnofract4d' from a terminal.
Alternatively older builds of Gnofract 4D are included in Fedora Extras for some Fedora releases. Run "yum install gnofract4d" to get that version.
A version is available in Portage, see http://packages.gentoo.org/package/gnofract4d
Either compile from source or use the .rpm files provided, using the RPM for the appropriate Python version (run 'Python -V' to see which python you have installed if you aren't sure).
You may have to use rpm --nodeps to install, because different distributions use different names for some prereq'd packages.
See [RunningOnMacOSX]
Either build from source (see above) or an earlier version of Gnofract 4D is available in the ports tree.
