Have some troubles installing this package what I have done so far is d/l the file Linneighborhood-0.6.5.tar.gz to desktop. I then copied it to my home directory, ran it with the command tar -zxvf Linneighborhood-0.6.5.tar.gz, which I believe extracts the files?

I then tried to run the command ./configuration but received a buch of things (maybe Files) missing?

What do I need to do to fix this please? I appreciate any help.

TIA

this is what's missing

What can I do to fix this please?

You need to install a compiler. A good one would be gcc.

Install gcc, gnu C compiler, and the missing programs you listed using your distributions repositories.

Yes, you really do need a compiler to install from source... check for other dependencies at : http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/index.html (*the homepage for the program*). If you really want to make the program work.. the folks here are the ones that can make that happen but...

I guess the begging to be asked here is WHY you need Linneighborhood last update was in 2002.. it was very useful at one time, I used it alot...
but
gnome and kde have this sort of functionality built in now.
What distro are you using? what desktop are you using?

will do...tks guys.

I received the following error when typing make && make install

What do I do to fix this please?

Try compiling after installing the glib-devel package using yum or whatever package manager you have on your distro.

Also according to the LinNeighborhood site you'll also need

* gtk+ 1.2.x
and
* GNU gettext


vxc

vxc69, I am a newbie to linux..what would be the exact commands to do what you subscribe to do so please?

ok i Typed yum install glib-devel and that seemed to work....... now what do I need to do please?

bump...............

Come on guys, can I please get some help for a newbie to linux. I really want to get away from windows.

bump................

Sorry, I had some stuff to do.

From your previous questions I can see your using FC.

Basically yum is a package manager. You can use it to access fedora package repositories.

Learn more about any command by using the "man" command.

For example man yum will load the manual pages for yum.

Try using yum to install LinNeighborhood. It might be there.

If you still want to compile LinNeighborhood (if you can't install it with yum) try using yum to install required packages I mentioned earlier and also anymore that you think would be required by running ./configure and reading any error output.

That's how I'd do it.


vxc

p.s: If LinNeighborhood isn't in yum and you can't seem to compile it try installing an alternative like smb4k using yum. Also if you use kde or gnome you should be able to access windows shares using samba. In gnome under nautilus file browser look for the connect to server button (it's something like that). In KDE just press Alt+F2 and type \\IP_ADDRESS\C$\. Use kcontrol in KDE to configure samba.
