Help installing Theme Plastic-0.3.2

[VILLA21]

I"m a newbie in Linux (mandrake 9.1) trying to install theme plastic. I made a new dir to my /home called themes, extracted the .tar file plastic there and all files are in /home/me/themes/plastic-0.3.2 directory.

Acording to install.txt file :

- Step 1

$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX

- Step 2

$ make

- Step 3 (as root)

# make install

 

where PREFIX is the path to your kde

installation eg: /usr, /opt/kde

 

If configure fails, check that you have both

the QT and KDE development headers installed.

 

Debian note: You may need to append

--with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3

to the configure line.

 

I don"t know what to use on PREFIX parameter on step1:

./configure --prefix=PREFIX

 

Anyone can hlep me pls?

 

PS: I just installed Mandrake 9.1 with the deafult settings.

Welcome!

 

./configure --prefix=/usr

 

You can and should do

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

as a user, then su to root to

make install

[VILLA21]

./configure --prefix=/usr

 

That"s what i did and i got the following error:

Don"t know what the last line means...wrong path?

You probably don't have gcc, the C compiler, installed. To find out, run the following as root:

 

# rpm -qa | grep gcc

 

Here's the output I get:

[root@localhost patrick]# rpm -qa | grep gcc

libgcc1-3.2.2-3mdk

gcc-c++-3.2.2-3mdk

gcc-cpp-3.2.2-3mdk

gcc-3.2.2-3mdk

# rpm -qa | grep gcc

 

I run the above as root and i get:

 

libgcc1-3.2.2-3mdk

gcc-cpp-3.2.2-3mdk

 

So, what do i have to do?

Use the Sofware Mgr to Search and install the ones in pmpatrick's post. Search for gcc. Or, in a terninal as root

urpmi gcc

Thanks!, this one works, installing all the files, libs etc suggested by pmpatrick everything is ok now :)
