installing???
how do you install files that you get in tar.gz files in SuSe? the farthest i have gotten is getting the file untarred, but i have no clue as to how to install the package...something like make install, but where and how, do i type that in??
|
you would do that at the command line. If you have unzipped the package, go the directory created after unzip and look for README (generally a readme file is included) file for specific installation instructions.
|
Yes.. most (all?) of the .tar.gz / tar.bz2 packages come with README or INSTALL text files.
|
Read INSTALL
Yes, read the INSTALL file. That being said, the process is normally
./configure make make install |
yeah, i read those, and then it tells me i need a compiled kernel or somethin like that
|
what exactly is it asking for? perhaps the program you're installing requires a certain option compiled into the kernel? or the program requires the kernel sources? can you give some more details?
|
compiling a kernel is not as easy as it seems you should see first if
there is an options, license, configurations and sorts of stuff because you can destroy your system! £Á3 |
are u trying to install a driver or a package for ur distro? If u could tell us what type of package u want to install then we could direct u a bit better :-)
