Hello,

I'm a Newbie who just downloaded my first software called Player/Stage. 3 tar.gz files were unpacked already by the GUI program. However, after I cd into the directory where I unpacked them, I could not ./configure them.

The errors read :-

[Barch@localhost Barch]$ cd PlayerStage
[Barch@localhost PlayerStage]$ ls
librtk-src-2.2.0 player-src-1.3.2 stage-src-1.3.2
librtk-src-2.2.0.tar.gz player-src-1.3.2.tar.gz stage-src-1.3.2.tar.gz
[Barch@localhost PlayerStage]$ ./configure librtk-src-2.2.0
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Does anyone have any clue how to help me?

By the way, I installed my Linux Redhat 8 from the "SAMS Teach Yourself Redhat Linux 8 in 24 hours" from 2 CDs.

I'm wondering if that is the complete installation (ie..just with 2 CDs???)

This is because I tried to add packages like the GNOME software development tools and the KDE software development tools but found that I have some failed dependencies (not RPMs, but like libs...etc, which I could not find in the 2 installation CDs.)

So I guess there are like 2 queries here. Are they linked somehow?

Someone please help....many thanks

It looks like you will need to cd into the directories:
librtk-src-2.2.0 player-src-1.3.2 stage-src-1.3.2

and run ./configure in there. I would be surprised if there was docuemtntation somewhere. Look for a file called INSTALL or README. Where did you download it from?

Hey,

I downloaded the software from

http://playerstage.sourceforge.net

Thanks alot! ./configure was processed but was not successful. As shown below:

[Barch@localhost librtk-src-2.2.0]$ ./configure

Thus, I could not "make"

It seems like I have lots of software development packages not installed as I mentioned in my first thread post. Do you think the install from the 2 CDs was not complete? Or what should I do?

Thank you!

You will need to install a compiler such as gcc. If should be on one of the CDs.
