If you have problems with "No package ‘ode’ found" ERROR during the ./configure like I did,
Here is the solution.
create the missing file: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ode.pc with these lines in it:

cflags=`ode-config –cflags`
libs=`ode-config –libs`
version=’ode-config –version’

Name: ode
Description: ode .pc file
Requires:
Version: ${version}
Libs: ${libs}
Cflags: ${cflags}
