Installing in Red Hat

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.  I can't use Konquerer because I don't have it yet.  Still just getting started here.

As for the
./configure
make
make install

are there any arguments I have to add?  If so, what.  Still VERY green here.

Creedon... haven't done the Debian thing yet. I burned the CD's (and a copy of Knoppix for you), but will continue to beat my head bloody against the wall with this Red Hat thing until I can make it work. :)  And make it work for me from the command line.  And yes, I AM that stubborn.

I had to help a buddy of mine out today, a local farmer.  He has a 1983 Deutz farm tractor that was hurting.  I really don't like working on farm tractors.  I dislike air cooled diesels even more.  And working on a damned foreign made air-cooled diesel farm tractor.. on a Sunday... well, it's enough to drive me to drink.  So I guess I will :)

I'll give my Linux box another go maybe tomorrow.

Thanks all for the help; I'm off to get trashed.

Jim

WOW!!  You ARE a glutton for punishment!!  A Deitz!?!?!?  DAMN, that's hardcore!!
./configure
make
make install
should work.
(munbles) A Deitz-sonuvabitch!

voidmain:
Forget download.com. If it says to use the RPM then also forget the *.tgz file. Get the RPM file of the program. I suggest you go to http://www.rpmfind.net/ and get the RPM.  Then to install just:

# rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

And did you not install KDE when you installed RedHat?  If you did, you have Konqueror.

RudeCat7:
Don't forget, if you downloaded an RPM then you can browse to the file with Konqueror. If you click on it, the RedHat Package Manager starts up. There is an option to "test install" this will let you know if there are any missing dependences.    So far, I installed Xcdroast in RedHat without a hitch that way.

Hi All,

Yeah Creedon a damned Deutz.  About as much fun as trying to fix a Windoze box :)

As for those asking about Konqueror, I went with the Gnome desktop.  No Konqueror.

Thanks for the help and I'll give this another shot after work tonight.

Jim
