F17: Things Installed After Fedora 17 Itself

See §6.3.8 for installs on my full Linux system. This one, being virtual and limited to 20GB, is used for a limited subset activities, as defined by the installations below.

yum install supercollider-world ;; gave up on sc-git (actually finally built ok)
yum install supercollider-devel ;; need plugin_headers
setenv SUPERCOLLIDER_HEADERS /usr/include/SuperCollider ;; added to .tcshrc
;; Keep emacs help dir same as other (non-virtual) Linux machines (which use sc-git):
ln -s /usr/share/SuperCollider /usr/local/share 
;; otherwise change .emacs custom-set-variables list to show
;;  '(sclang-help-path (quote ("/usr/share/SuperCollider/Help")))
yum install faust ;; faust-git does not build yet (isatty not found at load time)

system-config-firewall ;; enable/disable various ports such as ssh (port 22)
ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 /usr/bin/qmake ;; for faust2jaqt

;; fix copy/paste in vmware (not sure what actually helped):
vmware-config-tools.pl ;; take all defaults
service vmware-tools start
;; not yet
;; reboot
;; ok!
;; work around a bug in the latest Faust git:
cd /usr/local/include/faust/gui/

;; Upgrate from Fedora 17 to 18:
   yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install fedup
   sudo fedup-cli --network 19
;; I suspended the virtual machine because the MacBook disk was filling up.
;; After freeing some disk space, I resumed the Fedora VM, and the upgrade
;; was in some insane loop apparently due to the broken network connection.
;; After that, DNS was wiped clean, and I could not restart the network.
;; The easiest solution was to delete the virtual machine and restore from backup.
;; Conclusion: Do not suspend a Fedora virtual machine while fedup-cli is running.
;; From the top (now going to 18 before 19, just to try being safer):
   yum update
   ;; make a VM backup of updated F-17 system
   yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install fedup
   sudo fedup-cli --network 18
yum install gdb ;; installs ggdb (had trouble with lldb)
