wings3d 1.4.1-12 requires erlang=R15B03_1 as a dependency. Current version of erlang in the repos is R16B-1. Thus unresolvable dependency errors when trying to install or upgrade.
This task depends upon

Hi. The problem is that wings3d does not work at all with R16B, so I added the '=R15B03_1' dependency before upgrading erlang, hoping that users would be happy to at least get some sort of warning that wings would not work. In retrospect, conflicts would probably have been better.

In any case, the current developer of Wings3D is working on it.

Right now, no .tar.gz or github branch or Wings3D compiles with Erlang R16B in a way that produces a working Wings3D.
Please let me know if you should encounter one that does work.

Correction: The combination of the latest packages in Arch Linux (including make and erlang) and the release (or development) versions of Wings doesn't compile.

I will consider packaging the binary release from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wings/files/wings/1.4.1/wings-1.4.1-linux.bzip2.run.gz instead.

Packaging the binary release instead, for now. The updated package should appear in [community] shortly. Thanks for reporting and voting.
