Hi,

today I spent about 12 hours (!) working on femhub, but I made it to a
first release:

http://code.google.com/p/femhub/

currently only linux is supported (all distributions). Most packages
work on Mac too, but some don't. Follow the instructions on the front
page, e.g. download and type "make", it's that easy. You can also use
binaries, that I created:

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ondrej/scratch/femhub/

there is ubuntu64 and debian32 binaries (but I think it doesn't matter
if you use Debian or Ubuntu, only pay attention to 32 or 64 bits). It
may work on gentoo too, I haven't tried. If the binary doesn't work
for you, just compile from source.

It's the first release, so I already discovered a few issues:

http://code.google.com/p/femhub/issues/detail?id=32
http://code.google.com/p/femhub/issues/detail?id=33

the first one is quite serious: if you compile from source, you *have
to* have swig installed ---- I realized that too late, that sfepy will
not built without it. :( but I created a spkg package, so once the
built fails (if you don't have swig installed), just do:

./spd -i http://femhub.googlecode.com/files/swig-1.3.36.spkg
make

and it should build. In the next release I will fix that. Apart from
that, please give me feedback and report all build failures. By doing
so, you save me lots of time, because I can fix several things at once
(every release takes me several hours to do, I need to build on
several architectures, create source and binary tarbals etc.)

I have also built in the virtualbox and setup our notebook again:

please give it a test too -- I think Pavel is having a presentation
right now, so in case there is still some bug, so that he knows about
it.
