Version shipped in repositories is 6.0 so if we want 7.x we need to build it from source.

Install dependency packages: sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config python-dev libfreetype6-dev libpcre3-dev libboost-python-dev libglut3-dev libpng-dev libmng-dev libjpeg-dev libfreeimage-dev
Obtain a copy of CEGUI here
Extract to a folder
Before we build, we have to symlink the site-packages directory correctly, so it installs to the correct place.

sudo rmdir /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages

./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig

Note: On some Ubuntu systems it seems that CEGUI's configure system does not correctly detect the Python headers. To solve this, do the following:

export CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/include/python2.6
./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig

You can try running your program with:

PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH" python <file.py>

Note for Panda3D users You can run your program at the same way, using:

PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH" ppython <file.py>
