Need help installing Chrony for Kubuntu 7.10
 

** Ok, so first I went and downloaded
chrony-1.23.tar.gz

** Then I typed the command
tar -zxvf chrony-1.23.tar.gz

** Then went into the directory chrony-1.23/ and typed the command
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

** Then I typed the command
make
** and this is what was echoed back:

** I am pretty sure that something did not go right with the installation. Can anyone please help. Thanks

Chrony is available to Kubuntu from the Universal repository. If you have an internet connection, and the repository enabled, just open Konsole (Terminal Program) and input:

I think that upon reboot chrony just runs as part of the system - it doesn't have a separate executable file.

** Ok, I wanted to start over fresh so I typed
sudo aptitude remove chrony

** And this is what happened

** Now, I think that I have half of a chrony program and that will mess up any new installation. To make matters worse I have no clue what to do next. HELP!!!
