I posted my slides and the panorama image I created from the pictures I
took at the meeting last week:

The Hugin interface is pretty easy to use. I added the two pictures and
it assembled them and ouput a .tif image. I opened that up in GIMP and
cropped it a bit, there were some gray areas that hugin left around the
sides. Then used GIMP to convert it to a .jpg image. If you want to see
the full size image it's at:

You can see the seam where the two images were joined by the exit sign,
but I thought it did a pretty good job. Think it is really best for
scenery shots of course, so I dug through some old photos, and found a
couple shots out at Maunganui I could join:

Resulting in:

Thought I'd share my experiment.

Hi
I'm trying to compile the source version of Lazarus .. which is a gui
ide for the free pascal compiler (object pascal which is almost
identical to delphi) ... on a fedora 9 installation.
FPC compiles ok .. you have to get the binary initially to bootstrap
compile the source distro of the fpc compiler) ... lazarus compiles ok
but aborts on linking with a message saying it cannot link to -lglib.
I got the source for glib and compiled and installed this .. but
lazarus gave the same error.
I was originally running the amd 64 bit version of fedora .. x86-64 ..
but reinstalled the i386 version .. with no change (rather frustrated
by now) ...I then tried seaching the
makefiles and other installation stuff looking for libglib references
.. without any luck to date ... though libglib v 2 is in /usr/lib
I am vaguely aware that the fedora library comformation is a bit
differenct to debian but don't know the details nor of a simple way to
spoff software looking in the debian places to cope with the fedora
conformation .. has anyone any experience along these lines or other
thoughts on this
Thanks
