Installing imwheel
I've been working on getting my Logitech MX500 to work properly in Linux. I've been going by a guide that told me to uninstall imwheel 0.9.5 in favor of 1.0.0pre11 I've downloaded imwheel 1.0.0pre11.tar.gz and extracted it into /root/tmp/imwheel-1.0.0pre11/. In the terminal, I cd into the directory, type ./configure and get the following:

I've browsed through YaST to see if I forgot to install anything that looks like an X11 library, but I'm not sure what to look for. In YaST, everything under >Package Groups>System>Libraries is installed. I don't know where to go from here. I would greatly appreciate some help. -Jon |
You need the X developement libraries which in Debian is a pseudo package which provides a bunch of different libs those are what you should be searching for the package names in Debian below perhaps the file names are similar in SuSE.
Code:
>$ apt-cache depends xlibs-dev |

OK I found it!!! Go into YaST and then the "Install and remove programs" module. Use the search option, type in "dev" and near the bottom there should be an "XFree86-devel" package. Install it. Then you can go on to the rest of the imwheel installation. Anything else I find I'll post here.
To make sure other ppl looking for help on this find this thread: SuSE 9.1 imwheel x11 dev STuPiDiCuS |
hi,
thats helpful, but for Suse 9.1 Personal users: go to: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586/ and download the following packages: Freetype2-Devel Fontconfig-devel XFree86-devel (in that order) the personal edition seems to need a lot of extra downloads. I installed it yesterday without too much trouble, but to be able to compile i had to spend a day on the internet heh. it's not easy being a newbie! Lennard |
hmm
I seem to not have the 'make' command available: 50-240:/home/lpamooij/Documents/az/imwheel-1.0.0pre12 # make bash: make: command not found 50-240:/home/lpamooij/Documents/az/imwheel-1.0.0pre12 # ./make bash: ./make: Onbekend bestand of map 50-240:/home/lpamooij/Documents/az/imwheel-1.0.0pre12 # find / -name make find: /media/dvd: Geen medium gevonden find: . changed during execution of find I'm on suse 9.1 personal and i sort of need this to be able to install non-binary programs. I've been installing the required packs to configure for a few hours now. can anyone help? Lennard |
have you tried "whereis make"?
|
I found it, i guess i should have thought of that. The 'make' package wasn't installed. I had to download that too,
thanks though, Lennard |
