- - .run file (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/run-file-206365/)

I'll try to learn Linux software and install every kind of programs to my computer. I find here from "Linuxquestions" a link to p2p program called "Apollon" and download the file. The file is "apollon-dist-0.3.run". Have I downloaded wrong file or what I have to do to file ".run"?

.run usually means its an executable file. So give your self permission to execute by typing

Code:

chmod a+x apollon-dist-0.3.run

And then type

Code:

./apollon-dist-0.3.run

If that doesn't work type

Code:

sh apollon-dist-0.3.run

Thank you!
That's the way to do it. I started the installation, but i have few problems there. First with "ltdl.h", I solved that. Then problems with "giftconnection.cpp" and the installation is not complete because of that. I leave the problem to the future.

giftconnection.cpp: In member function `void giFTConnection::makeAttachRequest()':
* giftconnection.cpp:177: error: `PACKAGE' undeclared (first use this function)
