I tried to download and compile the penguin, but is has some
dependancies issues.  ??

I got the following dependency failures;

 

Requires;

wife_1.0.0.1_exe

patience-0.0.1.src

lib-skill-at-sewing-1.lib  or greater

 

I already have the first installed at home (very reliable version it is
too!), but do you know of any rpm's for the second two?

The free-penguin project page provides the 'executables' to make your
own soft-toy Linux(r) penguin. On this website are a string of numerous
sewing patterns and even an online community to build your own soft toy.
Like all good software, it is covered by the GPL so can be freely
downloaded and shared. 

I loved showing this to my Information Technology students, asking them
to consider the following: What are the hardware requirements for this
project? Do you download the stable version of the sewing-pattern or
jump in for the untested but newer alpha model. If you are stuck or
break a needle, do you post a question to the forum or first search the
on-line documentation for a clue or patch? What are the licence
limitations for merchandising? 

By adopting the language used by many software project websites and
following community development and evolution but within the familiar
context of constructing a cuddly toy, my senior students with an ESL
background could quickly relate to the different IT terms used. :-)
