bluefish
Anyone using bluefish. I figure since I finally have everything up and running, I want to start doing some actual work on my linux box. I came accross bluefish as an html/php editor. When I went to install the newest rpm, I seem to be missing a lot of dependencies, but I've run swaret. Should I just try an older version of bluefish or how do I get all the dependencies?

what version of slackware do you have installed?
Also, while slackware does have rpm, it is not the best option to use them.
first, try linuxpackages.net for a native slackware package.
you could turn the rpm into a slackware package like this:
rpm2tgz <rpm file>
but this is not the best option as this rpm was compiled on a different distro with more than likely different versions of software (this will cause problems sometimes).
to install a slackware .tgz package do as root:
installpkg <tgz package name>

I'm running slackware 10.0. I'm installing Quanta right now to try that out, then maybe I'll try another way of installing bluefish and see which I like better.
Thanks

Nvu is pretty good for html/css coding as well.

I've been using slack & bluefish together for a couple of years. I'm a KDE user & I don't even have Gnome installed. Bluefish is more of a GTK app than a gnome app. If you compile it from source you shouldn't have any problems. I usually grab the latest csv snapshot.
From the website:
Quote:
The latest version is Bluefish 0.13. If you have gtk version 2.0 or higher, this is the preferred version. It requires gtk version 2.0 or 2.2 (2.4 does work; some minor issues exist), libpcre 3.0 or higher and (optional) libaspell 0.50 or higher for spell checking and (also optional) gnome-vfs for remote files.
