Package dependency names vary on some platforms
Created by: timcoote
While pulling together a bob.ip.flandmark vm, I came across a few issues that I thought it worth noting.
I know that it's not in the documentation, but for installation on fedora (21), several of the dependent packages that are required are *-devel (eg to provide the header files). Thus far, I've found: boost-devel, hdf5-devel, python-devel, blitz-devel, freetype-devel, libpng-devel, libjpeg-turbo-devel, libtiff-devel, giflib-devel.
On 64 bit Fedora, H5pubconf.h looks like its called H5pubconf-64.h (well that's my guess. There's no /usr/include/H5pubconf.h)
There's also a need to
pip install --upgrade setuptools
as mock doesn't work with the stock package.
And the package for g++ is gcc-g++
