Lucky bugger! I cant find a mirror for love-nor-money!

Calum:
doesn't mandrake 9.1 come with apt installed? i ask because you mentioned mandrake update. i haven't used 9.1, so i am just going by hearsay. sorry i didn't add much to what was being said, and would you believe, i was just on my way back here to change it from 'super' user to 'substitute' user, but somebody had beaten me to it!

slave:
No but it comes with something called urpmi which is similar.

Lennon:
Hey guys, is something so wrong with ME or my OS? Nothing will work, bz2 or gz. I unpack them properly and then:
I run ./configure and i see no error messages. Then make, and i still get the messages such as:

filename.c:419: warning: return type defaults to 'int'
'list' undeclared (first use in this function)
'config' undeclared (first use in this function)
parse error before ')' token
parse error before '*' token

then going to root and typing make install produces same results  :(
going to root before typing the first make produces no results either
I tried unpacking with -xzvf and -xjvf switches both types, nothihg.

I mean... i really love Linux with what it already has, even though its hard to learn, but no matter how much i love it i can't use it if i can't install programs... so plz. anyone...  :(

And i know about urpmi, but it wont compile stuff for me, it will only install rpm thingys...
Hoping for a reply.

Doogee:
im not totallypp sure but it looks like whoever wrote that program doesnt really know what theyre doing (thats why the code wont compile) or you are missing something the program relies on, this is called a dependancy (remember that word, youll be using it alot hehe)
