Lone Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ok, well I thought I would try and get some themes for my KDE so I liked this one : http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?c...mp;tan=46756016 There was lots of different download packages and all the other things I have installed today were .RPM, and the rpm on that page says it is for SUSE but I tried it anyway, it said it installed but I couldnt find it so I decided to get the normal download. When I downloaded it I read the install text file and it gave instructions to compiling. It said to first cd to the directory of the source I downloaded so I did that and it worked, then it said to type ./configure, so I did but then it stopped and said: configure:2788: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATHSee `config.log' for more details. Lol some already know I am linux noob. So does anyone know how to get past this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 You probably need gcc installed: urpmi gcc and then try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Erm where do I type that. I assumed I am to type it in the terminal but when I did it says [lone@localhost ~]$ urpmi gccbash: urpmi: command not found [lone@localhost ~]$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 OK, first type "su" for superuser mode and enter root password when prompted, else it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ok thanks for the help with that bt moore problems :'(. Today is not my day. Ok so I did su and then typed pass then typed the urpmi gcc and it said this: [lone@localhost ~]$ suPassword: [root@localhost lone]# urpmi gcc no package named gcc [root@localhost lone]# It says there isnt a package called gcc :(. Maybe linux just doesnt like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Have you set up your sources properly? If not, use the EasyUrpmi link at the top of this page. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I don't know which KDE or OS you are using but under KDE 3.5.3 you can start KDE Control Center and start Theme manager under Look'n Feel. In the upper right corner there's a link "Download new theme" which launches Konqueror with kde-look in it. You can download whatever you want then click on the "Install new theme" button and navigate to your downloaded theme. No need for compiling and rpm packages.

Lone Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 dexter I know but when I downloaded the theme it was in tar.gz format. When I tried to add it in KDE control center it wouldnt work. I looked inside the archive and it has an install readme, so I assumed thats how I gotta install them :(. Like I said I tried the RPM installer for the theme but it said it installed but I couldnt find it :'(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Strange because I tried it I just had to navigate to the tar.gz file and it installed the theme without a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
