ive been trying to install a program onto fedora core 4, and the tar.gz file i downloaded did not include a install, ./configure and make boht give error messages,
(for ./configure) bash: ./configure: no file or directory
(for make)make: no targets specified, no makefile found. stop
im assuming that there is some sort of file missing, and if so, any idea where i might be able to find it?
You should read the ventrilo_srv.htm for instructions.
This is not a source package. There is nothing to compile. There are 2 executables:
ventrilo_srv
ventrilo_status
try
ah cool, but uh, here's the problem, when i try and run ventrilo_srv (what boots the server) from gnome, it doesnt do anything, cant figure out how to run it from terminal either...
and uh, as for the html file, it tells you how to config the server, not get it running :/
If you clicked it in gnome there is a high posibility the server is running now in the background. This server is a terminal apliccation, (No GUI) so in Gnome it will not output you anything at all. Try
Originally posted by |Spec-ops that didnt do anything, how would i run it from terminal?
(still very noob, havent figured much of anything out yet)
I've already told you. You open a terminal, you browse using the cd (change directory) command to wherever the executable is, and then you do:
Code:
./<executable>
If you have problem understanding this, then better start from here: www.linuxcommand.org
EDIT: if you are reffering to the "ps -A |grep ventrilo" command when you are saying that it didn't do anything then it means that there is no process with a name containing the string "ventrilo" running in your system. SO the server isn't running in the background
