Requirements

Action factory's VPE is written in Python. For the GUI, it uses the Tk widget set, through the Tkinter python interface. It also uses the Python Mega-Widget set, which is a set of advanced widgets based on Tk for Python.
Finally, it uses Fnorb, which is a CORBA 2.0 compliant ORB for Python (mostly written in Python itself).

Now here's the blunt list of the products you'll have to install prior to using Action Factory's VPE:

Tcl vs 8.0 or later (I used 8.0.5) and Tk vs 8.0 or later (I used 8.0.5)
[GPL product, available from www.tcltk.com or www.scriptics.com ]
Python vs 1.5.2 (I didn't checked 1.6 nor 2.0)
[GPL product, available from www.python.org or www.pythonlabs.com ]
Pmw vs0.8.4
[GPL product, available from www.python.org or python ressource sites (Vault of Parnassus, Starship Python...) ]
Blt vs2.4
[GPL product, available from www.tcltk.org or tcl/tk ressource sites ] (optionnal, only needed for the lib/Graph class which is available but not used directly here)
Fnorb 1.1 (Beware Fnorb is free for non-commercial use, but a low cost license is needed otherwise)
[available from Distributed Systems Technology Centre Pty Ltd. or python ressource sites (Vault of Parnassus, Starship Python...) ]
