install
 

sry this might sound stupid to some of you but i am having some problems installing gtk2.2.2 and glib and atk and pango is there someplace with an easy step by step installation guide for these or even if you just tell me how to run as root that would be appreciated cuz thats how far i got to where i have made them and now i need to install as root they said.

thx for any help

To run as root

Get into a console and type su, then enter your root password.

They each should have instructions on installing, but most of these should be installed anyway or provided in package .

Ok thx very much

one more question how can i find out what packets come with my linux disks i have the 3 mandrake 9.1 disks like is there a listing on the web somewhere

thx

William

get more
 

try
"su -m"
this will be the output:
mimithebrain h_______@h_______$ su -m
password= *******
mimithebrain H_____@h_______#

it will permit the same PATH and permit root access.

Totally cool when you use WINE and you need more permission:cool:

I'm a :newbie: but I sure love to help

For an central software repository for Mandrake, I believe you need to sign up for MandrakeClub.

I didn't sign up, and suffered rpm hell because of it, so I ended up switching distros.
