Hi Neil,

"You should have a look on osg website to find installation help."
or
Do a Google search.
Is not what anyone needs or expects.

Honestly, have you seen the traffic on this mailing list / forum? Have you seen the number of possible development environments you can use to develop C++ code? Giving personalized help to everyone, without assuming that they are at least comfortable in their development environment, is beyond what this (or any) community can handle.

Somebody is getting their ego pumped with 1700 + registered users.
A person registers and can't get anything setup and leaves.
The number of registered users that have logged on at least once in the last 3 
months are probably much less.

Nobody has their ego pumped about anything. We all try to help as best we can, but it's impossible to give personalized help to everyone and on every topic, we all have real work to do as well...

A lot of work has gone into OSG, a little more effort on initial setup would be 
appreciated.

It's a library, not Google Sketchup or OpenOffice. If you don't know your development environment, there's nothing anyone can do to help you. An installer won't help, more documentation won't help, people just don't read it and IMHO there is already too much documentation on the official OSG site, it's just that much easier for most of it to become outdated and to frustrate new users because they can't find anything relevant.

That being said, I'm glad you were able to get things working on your side, and I hope you make some kick-ass OSG-based programs.

J-S
