yes, installing includes under opende/opende/include/drawstuff and

you're right, ode-config needs additional modifications for this to work
without the above exporting step. Alternatively, you could use the flags
exported by rospack (e.g. rospack cflags-only-I opende, etc.) if you've made
the modifications to the opende manifest.xml as I suggested in the earlier
email.

great! I'll wait to add these changes.

thanks.
