How to install tar.bz2 files on linpus lite for meego.
 

I have linpus lite for meego os, could someone tell me how to install tar.bz2 files?

Welcome to LQ

To install from source, take a look at
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-tarballs/

Kind regards

when i write tar jxf file name
it gets me error: cant open: no such file or directory

What should i do?

Make sure the file is present in the directory you are in.
To verify type
If the file isn't there, CD to the directory which contains the file.

Kind regards

Ok i get to the part where i have extracted the tar, but when i write ./configure, it just says no such file directory.. Any solutions?

Did you cd into the directory which was created with the tar command?
cd to the directory containing the files, there is a README or INSTALL file, open it with a text editor and read them.
They will explain what to do.
Perhaps you don't need to compile.
It would help to know what you are installing.

Kind regards

Yes i did cd to directory.
Well in the install file it says:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake

make
make install

I tried some combinations, but nothing worked. Im trying to install K3b cd burner, so i can burn windows xp in my dvd and reinstall the os, because this is too hard for me.

Well i got nero in rpm file format, maybe its easier to install?

To install the rpm, as root type
Kind regards

Error: Cant create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (acces is denied)

How can i log in as root?

try
The password is the password of your user

Kind regards

Ok, now it told me:
preparing... 100%
1:nerolinux 100%

idconfig: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link

hmm, what does this means?

I would suggest to instal another burning program.

One of the reasons you are having a problem is that it is " linpus light"

The makers thought of it as an appliance like a TV or a VCR or a toaster .
You are not meant to install software on it ( it can be done ,but not easily )

If you want to install new programs ( and updated versions of programs) you really should install a new operating system
Something like Ubuntu
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
or Linux mint
http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
for a lightweight netbook
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=87

Another reason is because the whole Linpus stable is a badly maintained fork of Fedora 8.
