you need to install development software. not sure how to go about it in rh8 but look in obvious "install software" area of rh

then try again. fluxbox is probably available from you cd's also.

oki
 

i now your problem u need to download a kernel source i hade the same problem kas my source from the cd gave me a magic number when i installed the os so go and get your self a new source for the kernel...

Wow I posted this long ago. :)

easy
 

okej command center- inlogg handler - session
switch to admin and just add fluxbox to your session

wolla and now u got fluxbox...

:)))

ps: sry about the name i use suse in swedish so i dont no the names in eng....

ups sry im new to this forum stuff .))
hehe sry.. :))

k . . . but . . . . look what happened here . . .

so i ask u . . .
in which folder of thoses "fluxboxes ones" should i make :
./configure
make
make install


thank u in advance


ps : lol , old thread , searching forums rox a lot :)

hmmmm...you untarred it to the / directory? I don't see the fluxbox directory though. I would go about it like this:

tar xzvf flux* -C tmp
cd /tmp/flux*
./configure
make
make install

thank you , i ll try . . .

but i think , that i tried
./configure

in all created folders . . .

and this shit , dont seen to work :cry:
:(

but thank you anyway

i ll try what u said :study:

:)

are you logged in as root? don't do that.

also since this is a slack box use this:
http://fluxbox.bottino.com/

yeah , im using slack9 . . .
kde . . .

already tryed thoses packages from this site . . .

didint work too . . .

i cant find the place or folder where the "./configure" script is . . .


k . . .

im just trying to get used to linux , already installed 4-5 distros . . .

working with them and playing with them , ll make me more expierenced . . .


now im stopped in the fluxbox installation . . .

so , already tryed thoses packages too . .
didnt worked to , cant find the place to ./configure
or where it is located . . .

thank you anyway

some1 any another idea ?

let say you have a package called bob.tar.gz and it's in the /opt folder

cd /opt
ls
bob.tar.gz

tar -xzf bob.tar.gz
cd bob
./configure
make
su
[enter your root password]
make install

Your tgz.tar makes me think that you
might have grabbed a slackware package.
If this is the case you don't need any
of configure, make and make install,but
have it "ready to use" ;)

The directory structure confirms this.
You just should have been using installpkg
rather than tar :}

The tgz.tar extension is somewhat odd, though,
where'd you get the file?

Cheers,
Tink

thank you
:)
