[Glass] GsDevKit Installation problems

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Joachim,

I assume that all of your problems are due to the fact that I have not 
published the Ubuntu System requirements as part of the 
documentation[1], which includes the installation of the required 32 bit 
libraries.

I am in the final throes of finishing a combined tODE/GsDevKitHome 
release[2]. The tODE work is basically complete [3] - I will probably 
skip the remaining issue to get things out the door...

I hope to finish the necessary scripting changes for GsDevKitHome today 
and then I will tackle the remaining documentation, so I am very close...

With regards to documentation comments:  I think that there is a famous 
quote somewhere to the effect of "I don't have the time to write short 
documentation":) Pull Requests with edits to documentation are always 
welcome.

I have a set of tODe short videos planned as a follow on to the release, 
but we will have to see if I have the luxury of time:)

Dale
