====== Linux: Install ODE ======

This library is needed for the iCub simulator. It is recommended **not** to use the Debian/Ubuntu packages 
as large amount of numerical problems will appear.

The simulator supports single and double precision. Double precision is recommended and important if planning 
to import 3D models into the simulator.

Get the sources from here: [[http://www.ode.org/download.html]]

Extract the archive:
  tar -C ~/local/src/ -xvf ~/Downloads/ode-0.12.tar.bz2
  
Generate and make:
  cd ~/local/src/ode-0.12
  mkdir build_user && cd build_user
  # optional parameters: --enable-shared --disable-drawstuff --disable-demos
  ../configure --enable-double-precision
  make
  sudo make install

Add the ODE path to the end of your bashrc (change path if you did a local installation!):
  gedit ~/.bashrc
  export ODE_DIR=/usr/local
