 *** [http://plib.sourceforge.net/ PLIB]. Since march 2008, you will need version 1.8.5 - your distro probably supplies 1.8.4 still.
 **** For versions pre march/2008: (Free)GLUT or SDL (We recommend the use of SDL over Free/GLUT, [http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16153.html however since march 2008, FreeGLUT as well as SDL are both considered depreciated, please only use --enable-osgviewer during configuration instead])

-<b>Note:</b> When tracking a fast changing software like FlightGear/CVS it is highly advisable to install it in a separate directory. That way one can also easily build and reinstall without being root, which greatly reduces the risk of messing up one's system.

 To install in a directory of your choice add the <tt>--prefix</tt> argument to configure. E.g. <tt>./configure --prefix=$HOME/FlightGear</tt>. I would recommend installing all of OSG, plib, SimGear and FlightGear with the same prefix.

-Get the data directory:
+Clone the data directory:
-  cvs -d :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 co data
+  git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git
+The data directory is large (almost 2.5GB) so it will take considerable time to download.
+There mirror of fgdata that might be faster to download from:
+ git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/fgdata
+The mirror is synchronized with the master so either will do.
 And install it in (or as) /usr/local/share/FlightGear
-  mv data /usr/local/share/FlightGear
+  mv fgdata /usr/local/share/FlightGear
