Problems in installation...

Hi, I just installed everything from the svn (see my note if you use donwload link). I was almost able to launch everything, but fail on having a fully working environment, I got null pointer exceptions and the inventory didn't work as expected.

I'm particularly interested in local grid. This might be particularly useful for making demos and so attracting more attention on this wonderful project:

Might I suggest the following for easying the installation of local grid? Just brainstorming:

- Pack the already existent installation giving a READY TO GO local grid installation. I cannot do myself because it's not working on my computer. If you assist me in having a full installation, I might publish a easyphp self installing thingy.

- What about having it working under Ubuntu or so under a VMWare machine? so that people can download the VM and be able to really see something working? Also if the deployed machine has something already built on it (some standard avatars and a small house) it would be tremendously useful.

Also some defaults are strange to me: why not be per default using physics? people used to 2ndlife cannot understand why all the objects are phantom, this is particularly strange that you have to enable it. Please have it per default more consistent.

• Textures are different from 2ndlife and appears to me a kind of rectangular dark brown. Is this wanted?

• A tutorial should be written guiding people to do something. Not needing to do the same as 2nd life, but stress the differences!!!

Greetings, and thanks for your huge effort.
