easiest way to install giFT?
Just wondering what is the easiest way to install giFT? Can you provide me with the specific file name? thanks
|
it installs the same way as any otehr package... nothign remarkable. just download the source from gift.sf.net and follow any standard tar.gz installation guide, such as the one in the "Linux - General" forum, right at the top
|
ok i tried that ran the configure and it said "warning this does not come with a client or network "
then after that i tried to run the program and it gives me this error *** GIFT-FATAL: couldn't load protocol in file /usr/local/lib/giFT/libOpenFT.la: file not found *** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with the -v command line switch I did something wrong. Can you help me? |
I ran into the same pb: trying to install the openft plugin wouldn't work because libgift was missing and trying to install gift wouldn't work because there was no plugin :-))
My way to overcome this was to first install version 0.11.1 which is a full package (gift and openft), then install the last version of openft, libltdl-devel and finally gift itself. giftd & (instead of giFT &) and here we are... |
another problem
ok its probably just me and my lack of knowledge on linux, but when i run the ./configure command in the gift-0.11.3 it says
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. and then when i check config.log i uh..cant understand it..ask if you want that listed too because it is quite big sorry bout me bein a :newbie: |
you have to install the gcc package (rpm -ivh gcc....) on your system.
good luck |
