I have everything with libopencv in its name installed from my last 
attempt to do this. 25 of them.  IP there a gui editor like glade for 
it?

And I just found about 60 gtk2-engines that weren't installed, and it 
looks as if I should be using the glade-gnome for a gtk2 composer.
Maybe I can get enough sensible bitches out of it to fix it. Installed 
them all.  But I've been on the roof as one of my guy anchors has pulled 
out, and the wind is coming up. So I've cut 4 pieces of that composite 
decking, sank a hook in the middle of it, and 8 each 1/4" 2+ inch screws 
along the edge, gave the bottom of the first one a coat of white Black 
Jack, some sort of paddle it on with a putty knife sealer to fill the 
hollowed out bottom of the plastic decking, dropped it over the hole 
where a too small screw eye was. And despite its getting dark. managed 
to get the one loose guy wire loosely attached to the hook. More 
tomorrow, weather permiting. Its trying to rain but not getting much 
done, just a warm wind mostly.

But I have to admit that I am not the man I once was, even once. Up and 
down the ladder several times about wiped out my legs. Muscles screaming 
for glucose, which I have a surplus of, but they also need insulin I 
don't have to make muscle food out of the glucose.

Avoid getting old guys, its generally NOT fun.

Thanks Chris, I'll see what this install fest produces and report later. 
But at 18:27, I'd better go feed my baby.
