Re: [Goptical] Configure Error on Install

[Frederick Sonnichsen]

OK and thanks for the updates.
It is very difficult to obtain a simple geometrical optics package at a 
reasonable cost. I only need to use it to visualize  occasional setups 
on my bench and there is little out there for under $500 or even $1000. 
I had a license for Zemax at one time. It cost over $7000 and did not do 
physical optics. After that I had to write a lot of my own code in ZPL 
because it was a very limited package without features such as energy 
density plots etc.
