Hi, I am trying to compile a robot simulator (gazebo) but i am getting the
following error message:

make[3]: *** [gazebo] Error 1


apparently it is because it is missing an image manipulation library called
libpnm. this exists in the old version of netbpm package. my machine is running
fedora-c2 (has a newer version of netpbm where libpnm does not exist but it has
been merged into one file with the other libraries), and i have "installed" an
older version of netpbm with the requested libraries (netpbm-9.24-12.1.1). in
fact i have copied the libraries into /usr/lib and then run ldconfig (dont know
if it was necessary). still though i am getting the same compilation error. in
a fedora-c1 machine it had installed fine.

any help?

Thanks,
Yiannis
