What can we expect at this point from the product?

[VitalBodies]

Would this be correct?
libaqsis1_1.6.0-0ubuntu1~karmic4_amd64.deb
for 64-bit ubuntu karmic?

[joepal]

Is there a simple way to have the stable version of MakeHuman added to the software sources so it updates automatically?

There is no stable version. However, if you "apt-get install makehuman-alpha" you'll get the alpha release rather than the nightly build. These block each other, so if you install makehuman-alpha it'll only update again if a new alpha is released. The makehuman-alpha is in the same repository as the nightly builds.

[mflerackers]

aqsis_1.6.0-0ubuntu1~karmic4_amd64.deb I think, not libaqsis.

[VitalBodies]

Is this correct?
Nightly builds: The developer version(s) for people who are actually building or testing the software.
makehuman-alpha: What is needed to get the current alpha version.
Stable version: Not available yet - software is still in alpha.
Current non-developer version (end user): makehuman-alpha

[VitalBodies]

aqsis_1.6.0-0ubuntu1~karmic4_amd64.deb I think, not libaqsis.

Alright, at the risk of sounding like a noob I will ask yet another question : )
Do I need lib or data or FILL IN THE BLANK also?
UPDATE: I need at least lib for dependency reasons.

[mflerackers]

No, just aqsis should be enough.

Anyone know how to recompile?
I removed (I thought) AQSIS 1.2 (and lib) before installing 1.6.
aqsl -version
aqsl version 1.6.0 (revision 0)
compiled Oct 20 2009 19:29:12

UPDATE: I will try doing the updates (update manager) and see if that helps... NOPE did not help.

[mflerackers]

Go to makehuman\data\shaders\renderman and delete the slx files. Then start makehuman.

[VitalBodies]

Those are the .sl files?

[mflerackers]

slx is compiled sl. You should only delete the slx files.
