Hi! I am running slackware 10.2, kde 3.4.2 I tried to install kswaret, everything went fine during compilation and make, but when I enter "make install" it comes back with "/usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 4755 bin/kswaret /usr/local/bin" right away and exits the installation, and of course swaret is not installed! why? txs
Are you trying to install swaret (i.e. the command line tool) or kswaret (the graphical frontend of swaret), because the command you posted refers to kswaret.
If you want to install swaret d/l the package from here and use installpkg to install it.
I am sorry swaret installed fine, it's kswaret I am having problems with..
It might have something to do with the project not being developed for a couple of years. It is not uncommon to have difficulty installing very old source packages on newer systems due to library changes and updates.
I didn't know it was out of date!!
It probably would have installed fine on 10.1, oh well!
thank you!
Does qtswaret have dependency checking like kswaret?
