Downloaded latest version from http://openvrml.org/
Working with Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (x86_64)
Tried to configure it without success:
alex@pc:~/Downloads/openvrml-0.18.9$ ./configure
...
checking for boost_thread-mt library... no
configure: error: in `/home/alex/Downloads/openvrml-0.18.9':
configure: error: libboost_thread-mt not found
See `config.log' for more details
Libraries seem to be properly installed:

suffix has been dropped. The openvrml ./configure script provides a BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX environment variable: runningBOOST_LIB_SUFFIX= ./configure
appears to find the library, but there is a further (undefined reference) error that results in the script failing at the same point. – steeldriver May 17 '15 at 14:56BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX= LIBS=-lboost_system ./configure
