 some standard geometry functions, a sound library and a simple scene
 graph API built on top of OpenGL.

 This package provides the static libraries, the header files and the
 development links to the shared libraries. You need this package if you
 want to compile software which needs plib.

 This packages provides the same libraries as plib-dev but is compiled with

 of plib into shared objects. If you do not need this, plib-dev is a safe
 choice.
