Installing in Red Hat

Hi All,

I hate to keep bothering all of you with stupid questions, but I'm stuck again.  I went to download.com to take a shot at installing software on my computer.  The download came in as a .tgz file.  No problem there, a tar -xzfv uncompressed everything just fine.  There was an INSTALL text file in there.  I read that, and it suggested using rpm to install.  Problem is that there was no .rpm file among the files.  The name of the program is icebreaker, and there was an icebreaker.c file. So I tried the "make" command on that.  Lots of stuff happened, and I got a "Makefile" text file and a "Makefile.W32" file out of that.  No executable files that I can find though.

I could care less about this particular program, but am just trying to learn how to do things with Linux.  I've been at this for quite a while and am not making any progress, and have had to resort to imposing on all you good people yet again.

Thanks in advance for any assistance (yet again).

Jim

Are there any advantages for using

instead of the "extract here" in konquerer?  :confused:

KernelPanic:
Different strokes for different folks...

Hmmmmmm......you could try apt-get install  NO,you can't, that's right, you're using Redhat; my condolences.
