Some days ago a friend came to my home and show me a video of Ubuntu with Beryl. I was amazed of the incredible effects. I want to install Beryl in my Ubuntu 7.10. I surfed to Beryl Project website to get a download.
In the website, Beryl Distros I saw a Ubuntu - How to install. But when clicked i get a 404 error (page not found). So i download a tarball (aquamarine-0.2.1.tar.bz2). I guessed that must be the release name of that version of Beryl. After that, i opened read the install instructions.
Those instructions are not simple for Linux Newbie. but i manage to get in terminal change to directory where aquamarine is and do the "./configure" like the instructions said but i get this error
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.
Now i wanna know if theres a simple way to install Beryl? if not
What can I do to solve the problem above?
