 Please ensure that the installed version of the boost libraries is 1.42 or later.
 To get COLLADA support, you will also need to install the \texttt{collada-dom} packages or build it from scratch. Here, we install the \code{x86\_64} binaries and development headers that can be found in the \texttt{dependencies/linux} directory\footnote{The directory also contains source packages in case these binaries don't work for you.}:
