Hi I have just downloaded the Komposer web development package to ubuntu. The link on ubuntu which usually configures and sets up the package did not work so I downloaded directly
I can not get the package to run, I have unzipped it and its a Mozilla folder.
I have tried an older version as the new one did not run either.
The version is komposer 0.7.10-scr.tar.bz2
Any help appreciated

Thanks
Steve

When you say "...the link on Ubuntu..." are you talking about the Synaptic Package Manager? I installed Kompozer 0.8b1 from Synaptic Package Manager with no problem. It works great.

The src in the file name, komposer 0.7.10-scr.tar.bz2, indicates that this is likely source code which needs to be compiled and installed. Source tarballs usually contain a readme that explains how to install them.

The usual sequence of commands is

If there are missing dependencies, the output of the make command will list them. Then you can go hunting for them.

There is likely a readme in the package that will explain how to do it.

Alternatively, this site has *.deb files for Kompozer. It's a little confusing to navigate, but click around and you'll find them:

The Ubuntu packages are here
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/kompozer

But why not use the command : sudo apt-get install kompozer
Or the 'Package Manager' = Synaptic.


The old source code, 0.7.10-scr.tar.bz2 is 28.5 MB and a huge thing to compile.

Thanks for the feedback all,
Now working OK, for info on Linux novices;;

Stress junkie, No I actually meant that the Unbuntu Software Centre, did not load the programme, as it had uploaded previous packages. I obviously need to learn the technical bits.. However, I did manage to eventually upload it using the synaptic package manager, and it is now working fine.

Frankbell, I tried to use the code as I have used some code previously when encountering a problem with my soundcard. However, I did start to apply the code in the terminal, but decided to give the package manager a go before carrying on further with the code screen.

Knudfl, I looked at the site, tried clicking on the latest version, but realized I was going to embark on a similar trail to my last attempt. I think what was lacking is my confidence with the workings of Linux to configure/mount the correct bits of the package in the correct place, I afraid I still have a windows mentality of expecting the Linux/Ubuntu to do everything for me.
