I am having trouble installing Gkrellm on this Mandrake 10.1 official box. I had no trouble at all installing on Mandrake 10.0 official.

I have recompiled the 2.6.8.1-12mdk kernel without the rivafb driver but that is the only change I have made to the kernel.

Following is the output of the make command for Gkrellem....

[root@localhost rlbewick]# cd gkrellm-2.2.4
[root@localhost gkrellm-2.2.4]# make
(cd po && make all)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rlbewick/gkrellm-2.2.4/po'
msgfmt -f -v -o cs.mo cs.po
make[1]: msgfmt: Command not found
make[1]: *** [cs.mo] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rlbewick/gkrellm-2.2.4/po'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[root@localhost gkrellm-2.2.4]#

Any Sugestions

Ya......you might try to configure it first.........

./configure
make
make install

The Gkrellm installation does not include a configure file. The insallation README file states to only use...

make
make install

Looks like it is looking for msgfmt
I'm not running mandrake but on my system it is in /usr/bin/msgfmt

I get the following error when I try to install on Linux :

Can't anyone help with my question above???

Thanks

did u search the forum? I previously seen lots just like this. most answers recommended to use a package instead of compile from source code.

(rather than compile from source) find a package for your distro if you can.

http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr...=Google+Search

For instance, that search shows up a pre built package given/if Suse 9.2 is the distro.

I don't know much. But on Suse 9.2 I did

man ld

which inform me it to do with linking libraries

If I do not have it backwards then I think an exit status of zero means succeeded and an exit status of one means it failed which would mean that your ld for whatever reason (failed) was unable to do its job

--
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSM

it looks like you might be missing a needed dependency (a pre requisite). Does:

man ld

work? on which distro/ver. of Linux?

Yes That might have worked but....

I don't have write permisiion to my /usr/bin on this Work machine
is there a way to install the feature GKRELLM without admin on a Linux Redhat 8?

I found the packages here:

http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.f...t/8.0/gkrellm/



Any suggestions?

Thanks
