Guide to Install Player/Stage

Hi! Sorry for not posting in a while. I've been working on installing Player and Stage on Ubuntu, I had many, and I mean a lot of troubles trying to do that, but now I successfully installed it, and made a little guide for everyone else to install it easily.

Hope I didn't miss any step.

Guide
This guide is made to install Player/Stage in Ubuntu 8.04
** This should be working on any Linux platform **

First of all do
sudo apt-get build-essential

Before COMPILING and INSTALLING anything else be sure you have installed thes libraries:

Try to install them in this order
*Note: Many of this libraries may defer on a number at the end, representing the version
*The one that say Download and install... refers to do a "./configure", "make" and "make install" on each package

Download and install >=glib-2.0
Download and install pango
Download and install atk

sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev
sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev
sudo apt-get install libxext-dev
sudo apt-get install libltdl3-dev
sudo apt-get install libplayerjpeg2

Download and install gtk+

Finally,
Go to player/stage sourceforge webPage http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/ and download the player and stage softwares, and first do a "./configure", "make" and "make install" on player, then do the same on stage.

To test you have installed everything and is running do:
player /usr/local/share/stage/worlds/simple.cfg
