RGBD-demo installation

After three days of frustration, I finally got the rgbd-demo working on my macbook.
Once again Mac proved its worth. I have toiled hard to install it on my linux laptop.
It was just pain.
1. Installed opencv 2.4.0 then rgbd demo broke around 51% installation saying inpaint()
is not supported.
2. I revert back to OpenCV 2.1.0, OpenCV 2.2.0. Both of them failed at some point
of installation.
3. Then I tried OpenCV 2.3.1 with the Xing's (labmate) suggestion. I could successfully
install OpenCV 2.3.1. But now RGBD-demo breaks during cmake step.
4. Finally I went back to my old friend Mac OSX. Tried with my previous installed version.
When I tried to run the rgbd-viewer it says, libpng12.0.dylib was not found and it was called by
highgui.dylib. I looked into my /usr/local/lib/ and found a later version libpng. I separately
installed the libpng12.0.dylib. That resolves that problem.
5. Now I have other problem. It cannot detect the PrimeSensor saying that no PS is connected.
I tried with ./rgbd-viewer --debug 2 to detect the details of the problem.
6. I tried to install the Openni, PrimeSensor, and Nite. (I don't know why. But it was unnecessary.)
7. Then I tried to install the latest version of RGBD-demo-0.7.0-Source. I successfully could
install it. Now when I run ./rgbd-viewer again it shows that "PS is not connected". I did a search with
this keyword. It led me to the googlegroup for rgbd-demo. The first suggestion I tried solved my
problem. CONNECTED THE KINECT TO THE POWER SOURCE.
