<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt"><div>I saw that the 64 bit installation instructions on http://opensimulator.org/ are not up-to-date anymore.<br><br>I have installed opensim #7731 with ODE on a 64 bit ubuntu 8.10 server by doing the following steps:<br><br>1. I have installed Mono 2.3 as described here:<br> http://osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=475<br> Mono 2.3 is required to avoid startup problems with newer opensim versions.<br><br>2. I have downloaded and installed the lastest SVN version of opensim as usual (like a 32 bit system):<br> http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Build_Instructions<br><br>3. I have downloaded and installed the Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) to replace the 32 bit version of ODE with a 64 bit version. I did that with the following linux commands (it is expected that
you have all required Linux building tools installed):<br> > svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim-libs/trunk/unmanaged/OpenDynamicsEngine<br> > cd OpenDynamicEngine<br> > chmod a+x ou/bootstrap<br> > sh autogen.sh<br> > CFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --enable-shared<br> > make<br> > cp ./ode/src/.libs/libode.so ../opensim/bin/<br> > vi ../opensim/bin/OpenSim.ini (change av_capsule_standup_tensor_linux to 1700000)<br> The 'chmod' command is required to fix permissions that are wrong. The change in OpenSim.ini is required to avoid that avatars have bend legs and/or their feet are in the ground.<br><br>I use this installation since about 2 weeks with ODE, Meshmerizer and XEngine and it works reliable, although 64 bit installations of opensim are not officially supported at the moment.<br><br> Snoopy
