Sorry I wasn't clear.. I just added a patch for the "which" problem..

However, even with that fixed I suspect you haven't installed gmsh or

opendx, and so the functionality of secs2d will be incompletely. Secs2d

really needs gmsh for the meshing, but opendx is optional for the

visualization. Opendx needs an open-gl compatible X-server and so that

will also bean issue with the MSVC build.. Perhaps you could install the

gmsh binary (see http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/) but leave out the opendx

binary from the next MSVC build..

To be more precise, SECS2D can be used even without gmsh as it includes some simple built-in

mesh generation functions, so I would say that both debendencies on opendx and gmsh are just optional.

Maybe I should change the message produced when the packages are not found.
