How do I install programs that are tar.gz?

qwerty 10-19-2005 02:28 AM
First of all you need to uncompress the file as 'tar.gz' means it is compressed. This can be done by right clicking on the file and using the extract option from the context menu that appears. Once you have unpacked the files, open a terminal and cd to the directory where you unpacked the files to. Chances are there'll be a 'readme' or 'install' file in there giving you install instructions. However, it's normally a case of typing.

Code:
./configure
make
su
<enter root password>
make install

thanks for the help, got another one though lol.
Im running a NForce2 mainboard with on board sound, in the settings it shows that it detected it correctly but I get an error whenever I try to play music. NVidia has linux drivers but I dont know how to install them...

I also seem to be having a problem with getting programs to work. I installed a program that was a rpm but after that I dont know where it gets installed to or how to start it for that matter...

The easy way to install software in Mandrake/Mandriva is to use urpmi or the GUI frontend to it in the Mandrake Control Centre->Software. Goto http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and setup access to the software repositories (this is very important). Generally you shouldn't just install RPMs downloaded from the net unless there were packaged specifically for Mandriva.

All Mandriva RPMs will install a menu entry if they are for a GUI application (although there will be a delay after you've installed it before the menu entry appears). You can generally just run a program by going menu->Run Command and typing the name of the program (or doing the same in a terminal window).

To see what files a package installed do either
Code:
rpm -ql packagename
from the command line or go into Mandrake Control Centre->Software->"Remove software..." and select 'Maximum Information' (don't remove the package of course :) - you can use it to browse what you have installed).

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
  ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
  rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: No)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means
  that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.
-> Kernel source path: '/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk/source'
-> Performing CC test with CC="cc".
-> gcc-version-check failed:
 
  You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with a different compile
  r than the one that was used to compile the running kernel.  This may be fin
  e, but there are cases where this can lead to instability.  The compiler use
  d to compile the kernel was gcc 3.4; the current compiler is gcc 4.0.
 
  If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, sel
  ect "No" to continue installation.  Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort install
  ation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to c
  ompile your kernel, and restart installation.  Abort now? (Answer: No)

Install gcc (through urpmi or the Mandrake Control Centre)

dark_negotiator 10-19-2005 09:43 PM
whats gcc? how do I access urpmi or the mandrake control centre?

tkedwards 10-19-2005 10:48 PM
urpmi is the package management system on Mandrake, its also the name of the urpmi command line program.

The Mandrake Control Centre is in menu->System->Configuration->Configure Your Computer and once in there go into the 'Software' section. The options in there are graphical frontends to the urpmi command.

See http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Installing_Software

dark_negotiator 10-19-2005 11:13 PM
I see "configure your desktop" but not computer so i went in there however software is no where to be found.

tkedwards 10-19-2005 11:23 PM
No its not in there. What about men->Software->Configuration->Packaging->Install Software?

or menu->Run Command type 'drakconf' (no quotes)?

dark_negotiator 10-19-2005 11:45 PM
install software brings up rpmdrake and I found
Name: gcc2.96-cpp
Version: 2.96-0.83mdk
Size: 229 KB
is this what I need?

tkedwards 10-19-2005 11:54 PM
Just type gcc - it'll be something like "gcc-3.4" or even just "gcc". gcc2.96 is an old version specially packaged for compatability.

Alternatively just do
Code:
su
<type root password>
urpmi gcc
from the command line.

dark_negotiator 10-20-2005 03:52 PM
The only thing it found was gcc2.96-cpp and when I type in su
<type root password>
urpmi gcc

it doesnt do anything.

tkedwards 10-20-2005 05:42 PM
Does
Code:
rpm -q gcc
or
Code:
rpm -qa | grep -i gcc
show any output? What about
Code:
gcc -v
?
