Looks to me like there are only packages there for Windows from the
file names, so I guess that is the issue. However, there are
instructions for building Dippy and those seem to be easy and work
fine. When you install Dippy, DIP gets downloaded and installed
automatically, so you don't even need to do that step yourself.

The only issue is that Dippy currently works with Dip-0.8.7, not with
most current release. I've cc'd the project manager on this e-mail.
Mike, any chance of getting Dippy updated to the latest release on
COIN? I think you are already working with DIP's trunk, right? I'm
going to start using Dippy for some course projects soon and would
like to have it working with the latest and greatest.

Cheers,

Ted
