Let's do this, I checked the website for both gnomad2 and libmtp and they both have been updated. So the instructions below is for these update app/libraries.

First uninstall your version of gnomad2 and libmtp:

Code:

sudo aptitude purge gnomad2 libmtp*

Now for some needed packages:

Code:

apt-get install libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libxml-parser-perl

Now create a directory for the program and get the latest version:

Code:

mkdir gnomad2-mtp

cd gnomad2-mtp

wget http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnomad2/gnomad2-2.8.11.tar.gz

wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libmtp/libmtp-0.1.3.tar.gz

Then:

Code:

tar xzvf gnomad2-2.8.11.tar.gz

tar xzvf libmtp-0.1.3.tar.gz

Then:

Code:

cd libmtp-0.1.3/

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

sudo make install



cd ..

cd gnomad2-2.8.11

./configure --prefix=/usr

After a few seconds (depending on the speed of your computer) you should have something like the following output:

Code:

gnomad2 2.8.11

Configuration :

---------------



 Source code location .: .

 C Preprocessor .......: gcc -E

 C Compiler ...........: gcc -g -O2

 C Linker .............: gcc

 GTK+ version .........: 2.8.20

 libgnomeui version....: NOT USED

 libnjb version........: 2.2.5

 libmtp version........: 0.1.3

 id3tag version........: 0.15.0b

 dbus-glib version.....: 0.60

 Install path .........: /usr



 Now type 'make' to build gnomad2 2.8.11,

 and then 'make install' for installation.

The key here is that it should detect libmtp's version. If you didn't get this far that means there is something missing. If during the ./configure command breaks, cut-n-paste the error.

Now type 'make' to build gnomad2 2.8.11, and then 'sudo make install' for installation.

When you are done run the following command:

Code:

ldd `which gnomad2` | grep -i libmtp

You should see should see something like this:
libmtp.so.5 => /usr/lib/libmtp.so.5 (0xb7927000)

If you do see something, plug your Zen in first then run

Code:

gnomad2

Let me know how things turn out. Good Luck.

i dont get it..

if i want to start gnomad2 i get following output :
gnomad2: error while loading shared libraries: libmtp.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what did i do wrong ?

if yes, you may have a permission issue. try to re-follow above directions.

how do i have to use this "--prefix=/usr" correctly ? do i have to copy it 1:1 or should i fill in somewhere my username ?

because when i copied it 1:1, it said that installation is impossible so i did it with out this line !

/usr is a directory not your username. follow the instructions exactly as i quoted earlier.

ok, i finally got it :

i installed it with sudo make install instead of sudo checkinstall!

yea...good luck. just need to follow directions properly.
