[AG-DEV] AGTk Development : Cannot build UCL Common Library

[Thomas D. Uram]

Hi Thibault:

You don't need to build everything from source to do what you're trying 
to do.  Use the Access Grid installer to get all the dependencies in 
place.  Then you can check out the Access Grid module from subversion, 
and set up the environment, according to the instructions on this page:

http://www.accessgrid.org/developer

These instructions are fairly new, so if you run into problems with 
them, please let us know so we can update them.  If you'd like to update 
them yourself, let me know and I'll give you the appropriate permissions 
for the site.

Also, I'm curious to know what else went wrong when you were trying to 
build from source, so we can get that fixed.  Ideally, building from 
source would be trivial.
