You *must* have the plib library installed on your system to build the FGFS simulator!" You can get the original library from: http://www.woodsoup.org/projs/plib/ Build notes: When you run "./configure" to configure the package, plib's defaults to installing the headers in /usr/local/plib/include and the libraries in /usr/local/plib/lib. If you would prefer to install these in /usr/local/include/plib/ and /usr/local/lib, then run configure with the following options: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --includedir=/usr/local/include/plib Installing into /usr/local/include/plib/ and /usr/local/lib makes it possible for the fgfs configure script to automatically locate the plib includes and libs.
