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++
