hi all,

i'm trying to install lxsplit.

here's what i've done:

1. downloaded the file.
2. extracted the files.
3. put it in my users directory: /home/<username>/lxsplit-0.1.1
4. opened up a terminal within the lxsplit-0.1.1 directory.
5. typed "sudo make"

and i received the following error (i was never prompted for a password):

cc -O2 -Wall -W -DNO_DEBUG -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -o mkuoff_t mkuoff_t.c

i'm totally lost.

if you have any idea what is going on here, i'd appreciate some guidance.

tia...

when i type in

$make make install

i get the following error (not prompted for password, either).

make: *** No rule to make target `make'. Stop.

The command is used incorrectly, must be:

$make
$sudo make install

But trying to compile this source gives problems.

Try the following link to download an install-ready package: http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/u...ge/lxsplit.php

I have installed it and it works perfect.

To install: sudo dpkg -i lxsplit_0.1.1-1_i386.deb

Success!
