What have you done so far? The typical setup is:

1) Unpack/untar

2) Check the README! (prereqs, other special instructions)

3) configure

4) make

5) make install

$ cd ~
$ tar -xvfz hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz
$ cd hellanzb-0.9
$ sudo python setup.py install

I plan on installing this tonight actually. I'll post back what I did to get it working (that is if I get it working).

I'm currently using nzbperl and it works great but Hellanzb looks pretty nice.

Hi Mithrilhall how did you get on installing hellanzb i keep getting this problem every time i do a python setup.py install i get this error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
i have installed Klibido to download my nzbs and it installs very easy and works fine but can you let me know if you get hellanzb to install and work

Thanks

Hellanzb works perfect for me.

What distro are you running?

Hi Mithrilhall thanks for the reply but hellanzb is all up and running and works fine great software and saves a lot time unrar and unparing

Thanks

Guys, i'm still stuck at the "you need zope.interface installed" error. I have installed the zope interface.

Kind regards
