SuperKaramba problems


i have recently installed superkaramba throw urpmi i don't really remember what more
urpmi did say that it have to install i think i was something to xmms.
but after the installation didn't i find the folder to superkaramba or some program link
i can find that it have been installed throw the remove rpm program
where are the folder usually created?

Because of i didn't find it did i download the source from www.superkaramba.com
when i did the ./configure did i get that x-something was missing so i did search for it and
find that i had to install xorg-devel to get it working ok
did a search on urpmi diden't find it ok, then i search at http://www.rpmseek.com/index.html
and i find some rpm that i was looking for but when i when i was ready to download did i find
that the rpm only where for fedora suse and linuxalt???
what should i do?

Superkarmaba .34 is available on the URPMI repositories.

It should appear in the menu under System/Monitoring but only after many minutes.

URPMI can take quite a while to rebuild the menus.

If you wish to see which files were installed by a package open a text console and type

rpm -ql superkaramba

or for RPM information...

rpm -qi superkaramba

The Superkaramba forums lists a site which has premade Superkarmaba .35.x RPM's for Mandrake 10.1. This work without compilation issues.

The .35 tree fails to compile under Mandrake as it was built using "cutting edge" python (and other) libs which are not part of the Mandrake distro, and rightly so.

This is usually the case with .tar.gz files and a good reason to avoid them, as usually novices (or those moving from other distros) end up trashing Mandrake in their efforts to get things working...

e.g. they are "fighting" the Mandrake distribution.
