Replicator Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi I am a newbie to the linux world, install mandrake 1 week ago and I want to put my linux with a killer look in order to do this I read that Superkaramba an gDesklets are the best programs to handle themes, ok when I tried to install both packages (latest versions tar files) i have the following error: [root@localhost ricky]# cd gDesklets-0.30pre [root@localhost gDesklets-0.30pre]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes /home/ricky/gDesklets-0.30pre/missing: Unknown `--run' option Try `/home/ricky/gDesklets-0.30pre/missing --help' for more information configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for style of include used by make...

I found a superkaramba rpm I double click the rpm then ask me for disc 1 to install phyton and othe file i dont remenber right now, then when the process end I dont find a new program installed...do I do something wrong and now i cant install the tar file??? Sorry for my bad english, is not my first lenguage but at least people can undertand what help I need here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) You need to install gcc, which is the GNU C compiler AFAIK. Its on one of the MDK cds, so just go to a console, su to root and do: urpmi gcc Or you can do the same via the MCC(Mandrake Control Center) graphically...

Jet2k5 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Hi?! Why don't you try to install your gdesklets via urpmi? You can easily set up your urpmi sources by clicking here. Once you have your sources installed all you have to do is open up a console su to root and type this in: urpmi gdesklets This sometimes give's you a list, all you have to do is choose what you want to download ( by this I mean you choose if you want the weather gdesklet, sys info, etc.....) Lets say for exaple you install the sys info one. All you have to do is open up console, and type this in: gdesklets<hit TAB> when you hit TAB something like this should come up similar to this $ gdesklets gdesklets gdesklets-display-thumbnailer gdesklets-add-sysinfo-display Now you just have to run the gdesklets-add-sysinfo-display just type that into console and hit enter and it should run the sys info, hope this helps, -Luis P.S I do have to warn you that gdesklets hog a lot of resources, I have read some where on the board that gdesklets are coming out with new ones that are less damanding of the resources.

Sorry for my bad english, is not my first lenguage but at least people can undertand what help I need here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The config.log file gets created in the directory where you ran the source directory, so if you untarred it in your home folder it would probably be /home/yourname/gdesklets_version... That said, you got the informantion you need right there, do a urpmi gcc and let it install all dependencies and you'll be fine. If you don't have it set up yet, please go set up Easy-urpmi via this llink. Post back if you need more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replicator Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ok I follow feralertx tip to install the C compiler in Konsole I use the command urpmi gcc Mandrake ask me for this 1 so i put it and the process end without any problem, but the problem continue with superkaramba and gDesklets, this is the error after running the command ./configure: With gDesklets checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes /home/ricky/gDesklets-0.30pre/missing: Unknown `--run' option Try `/home/ricky/gDesklets-0.30pre/missing --help' for more information configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for style of include used by make...

What do i do now, I have error using superkaramba and gDesklets after GCC installed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbob Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yes, the are several C, C+ and C++ compilers out there, so don't let that worry you. You are probably missing some supporting libraries, this is not uncommon if you install Mdk and skip the developement tools (and this would work if you lived your whole life with RPMs and never compiled anything, but that is rarley the case). Do a urpmi libgcc and see what it gives back, there might be quite a lot you will most like need some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Grab the last line from each configure script (the error messages) and put them in Google; you'll find some pertinent information that way. If the language barrier is the problem, then that's a different story and you wouldn't be expected to figure it out on your own. My best guess (I'm not at a Linux computer): It seems like you're missing a package for each: one to provide XML::Parser and one to provide /lib/cpp. Do a `urpmf /lib/cpp` to find the package; for the Perl one, try `urpmf [Pp]arser | grep [Pp]erl`. If you want explanation for the commands, let me know or man urpmi. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet2k5 Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I think I use to have the same problem when I first installed Mandrake, I was not able to compile things because I got an error message. Look's like the same one you have, altho I have re-installed Linux a few times, but not because of the compiler thing, altho I have to say that's not the best thing to do, people don't really like the Idea of having to re-install Linux. I'm sure theres and answer to this, I'm very knew to Linux and really don't have as much experience as some of these guys I'm sure some one will give you an answer and get this fixed, as for the gdesklets install them via urpmi it's the easiest way, I think that you might just be making things more complicated on your self by doing those extra steps. Stick around, you'll learn...... -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
