I get the following and am not sure what the problem is -- I seem to
missing some files.  Is there any documentation for the Linux
distribution, in particular what packages I need installed to make the
ARToolkit build?

I'm running Red Hat 9.

Thanks,
Stephen

I'm not sure which version of ARToolkit you are using. I think the newer 
versions contain a "Configure" script, which you should run before 
compiling (making) the ARToolkit. The script should ask you what kind of 
video input device you are using, etc.

Also, do you have the linux kernel sources installed? As far as I know, 
the video library that the Linux version of the ARToolkit uses is part 
of the kernel sources...


Hope this helps,
   Robert.

Thanks to all who responded!

As many of you guessed, I needed to install libdv.

Next, when I tried to ./Configure and make ARToolKit, I got a few errors.  
These appear to be due to changes in the libdv functions since
ARToolKit2.60.  Making the following changes in video.c seemed to help:

171c171
<     if( (vid->dv_decoder = dv_decoder_new()) == 0 ) {
---
>     if( (vid->dv_decoder = dv_decoder_new(0,0,0)) == 0 ) {
175c175
<     dv_init();
---
>     dv_init(0,0);

Now, simpleTest2 gives me an image from my Sony Handicam, which is
cool!  Now, I need to explore what else is here.

Again, thanks!
