tyme Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 a little googling for .chm ebook linux or similar string lead me to this program which may be useful. You can try searching for xchm in the software installer to see if it is available, but be sure to add sources via easy-urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakish Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'm having some probs here. 1) i have download the software referred by tyme. i get the following errors: checking for wx-config... no configure: error: wxWidgets must be installed on your system but the wx-config script couldn't be found. Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by 'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.3.4 or above. 2) Now i have also dowloaded the software referred by scarecrow. It installs fine.. but when i type "kchmviewer", i get this error message: bash: kchmviewer: command not found when i type "rpm -ql kchmviewer", i get this message: package kchmviewer is not installed i'm not understanding this here because when i installed it, there no error message and the configure even said :good: successful, now do make..etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 kchmviewer might have been installed in /usr/local, try this: /usr/local/bin/kchmviewer as far as xchm, you probably need to install wxwidgets-devel or similarly named packaged. Did you make sure to check Mandriva Control Center, Software, Install Software for either of the recommended packages? And also add sources via easy-urpmi as I suggested?

scarecrow Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) If you have set your URPMI repos, then all you had to do was some su -c "urpmi xchm" or su -c "urpmi kchm" (both are on the contrib repo) kchm is slightly different to kchmviewer, but again its based on KIO operations.

wakish Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 No tyme, it was not there.. I thank you both for your kind help! so nice of you. I have just tried another way out: I have downloaded a CHM converter for Windows. Then from Windows i converted the .chm file into "pdf" and "html" files. Now, i just transfer the converted files to linux :) and use it easily.. ;) This is less of a hassle ;) Regards, wakish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
