Concerning libwiimote, neverball and bluez
The Search Oracle senses that you want to install Neverball 1.5.0 with wiimote support. In order to do this you must first install libwiimote. However, libwiimote hasn't been updated for a while, and most repository packages are too old.
This is what you must do, unless the developers wake from their slumber. In the downloaded tarball, you must replace every occurence of hci_remote_name with hci_read_remote_name. Then the configure --enable-shared, make and make install should work, provided you have the bluez bluetooth development library installed, of course.
If you do not do this, the script will tell you that you do not have bluez installed. Do not listen to its false words! Do as I say instead, and you will soon play Neverball 1.5.0 with your wiimote.
