    Could you post the output of lsb_release -dc? The output will tell me what OS version you are using.

    I have not seen this particular error with Vrui. I expect it means the
    libdbus-1-dev (Ubuntu) or dbus-devel (Fedora) package is not installed, but it should have been installed as part of the AR Sandbox build script.

    Thank you very much for replying.

    It says Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa

    Use sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdbus-1-dev, in a terminal window, to restore the missing file. Then try compiling Vrui again.

    Hi Sean….tried your advise…though it gave the same error. As mentioned earlier, I was using Linux Mint. 19.1 “Tessa”.

    I was able to solve it by re-installing a lower version of Linux Mint, which is Linux Mint 19.0 “Tara”. It installed without flawlessly and the rotating globe showed up…what a relief….

    Thank you so much for taking time to respond and give advise. Much appreciated.

    Congratulations. That was good thinking. If you have the time, you might try Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia. Tricia has the most recent fixes for the LM 19 series.

    Many thanks for the warm congratulations. This is greatly appreciated. I have tried several Linux Mint versions starting from 17, then moving to 19.1..etc. and always encountered a blank wall 🙁

    Luckily Linux Mint 19 Tara was a breeze and I did not encounter any errors at all!! Now seeing the colors on my sandbox Yahooo! Need a little tweaking and fine tuning/calibration.

    By the way, what do I do with the BoxLayout.txt file after saving it during the step, “Measuring Sandbox’s 3d Box corner positions”? Which folder do I save it? Or is it used in any routines?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Please kindly disregard the last paragraph regarding the BoxLayout.txt. I read the instructions again and it did mention where to save it which is in the /etc folder.

    Cheers!
