Hello everyone, please could someone help in posting a detailed instruction on how to get Flightgear v1.9.1 installed on ubuntu jaunty.
I presently have the Ubuntu official 1.0.0-3ubuntu1 installed but it is way behind in recent features updates...;)

Thanks in advance :D

Good evening folks I am cleared to Flightgear v1.9.1 ... :D

I succeeded in getting flightgear v1.9.1 working in Jaunty, after a lot of failed attempts, that included the download_and_compile.sh script.

I simply followed the instruction found here http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Building_Flightgear_-_Debian :)

I ignored the "Add backports.org repository" part though

for OpenSceneGraph I used OpenSceneGraph-2.8.1.zip

I'm having problems with the fgrun part

Have fun with the improved spectacle ...

I got fgrun compiled using fgrun-1.5.1.tar.gz.:P

I still can't run Map or Atlas, keep getting
