    765764 VR Juggler applications. If none of those packages is found, Sonix will 
    766  "stub out" its sound APIs. This means that Sonix and the VR

    768  be heard at run time. See the section called "Sonix" for more

    782780 As noted in the section called "Getting the Source Code and the 
    783  Dependencies", VR Juggler depends on several external software

    785  installed in /home/user1/pkgs/boost with the headers in /home/user1/pkgs/ 
    786  boost/include. To use this installation, run configure.pl as follows:
