  3. /usr/include/python2.2

  4. [none]

  5. /usr/X11R6

  6. through 9: y, y, y, y 

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/pyrobot/bin/pyro pyro

Add to .bashrc: 

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/pyrobot/lib
  export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local:$PYTHONPATH
  export PYTHONSTARTUP=$HOME/.python
  export PYRO=/usr/local/pyro
Player/Stage installation 
cd gsl-1.3
./configure
make
make install

cd player-src-1.3.2
./configure
make install

cd librtk-src-2.2.0
./configure
make install

cd player-src-1.3.2
./configure
make install

cd stage-src-1.3.2
./configure
make install

instead of using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you could put all of those paths in /etc/ld.so.conf file, like: 

emacs /etc/ld.so.conf # $$$add /usr/local/lib$$$
ldconfig
