we were going to go with an Ubuntu install of 24.04 but I am not sure if VRUI works with the latest. I tried a couple of times but it goes sideways in a few places. Thanks to @mkaszuba I corrected one issue but there were more errors later in the installation. Does anyone know what version of Ubuntu I need to use?

ok so I got further into the install by typing sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev

but I got another issue with png.h that I got around with sudo apt-get install libpng-dev

then I ran PullPackage Vrui and it went a lot further into the install.

but now getting errors at the end of the install
