ok, i will check that. thanks.
i think things change every month about installing openni/nite/sensorkinect.
but as you found out there are enough resources that help you with the 
installation out there.
thats why i prefer pix_freenect for projects that don't need skeleton 
tracking. it's a lot more easy to install and i think also cheaper in 
computation power.
the output format of these two objects is basically compatible. so you 
can always exchange them if you don't need external tracking stuff.
just a few initialization messages depending on which output mode you 
want to have can be different.

for hand tracking you have to make a waving gesture.
wave your hand several times after you activated it. after some time 
nite should recognize your hand and start tracking.
if you want more easy hand tracking there is the possibility to use 
pix_multiblob in combination with filtering the depth image.

if you want to track severall hands you can check the Nite.ini files 
located in these folders: /usr/etc/primesense/Hands_1_*
and uncomment the lines there (remove the ;   )


thanks for your reporting. that helps to make it more stable.
