14(A) no, this is normal, this is just the output of FROG, showing that everything is ok.
15You should find your *vis and *geom files when it has ended.
16
17(Q) I do not remember how to run FROG
18(A) Just run the "frog" executable in Utilities/FROG
19 me@mylaptop:~$ cd Utilities/FROG
20 me@mylaptop:~$ ./frog
21
22(Q) How should I know which external libraries I need for FROG ?
23(A) Please refer to this page on the FROG website:
24 http://projects.hepforge.org/frog/Visualization.html
25 you will need OpenGL, GLUT, X11-devel, Curl. For instance:
26 OpenGL :
27 xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2
28 xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2
29 GLUT :
30 freeglut-2.2.0-14
31 freeglut-devel-2.2.0-14
32 X11-devel :
33 xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2
34 CURL :
35 libcurl
36
37(Q) FROG complains that libcurl is missing. What should I do?
38(A) First, make sure the libcurl library is installed on your computer.
39 - locate it on your computer
40 me@mylaptop:~$ locate libcurl.so
41 /usr/lib/libcurl.so
42 - if the library is not present, take it from the internet (http://curl.haxx.se/) or via installers like "apt-get" (ubuntu systems) or "yum" (fedora systems)
43 - if the libcurl.so is not found, juste make a symbolic link in Utilities/FROG/Lib:
44 me@mylaptop:~$ cd Utilities/FROG/Lib
45 me@mylaptop:~$ ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so
46 me@mylaptop:~$ ls -l libcurl.so
47 lrwxrwxrwx 1 me me 21 Jan 7 15:19 libcurl.so -> /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.0.1
48 - now it should work properly
