Comment 21 for bug 303511

hi,
So the compilation is 'classic linux' ;-):
Once you have downloaded the compressed file you have to uncompress,
- I'm writing this mail from another machine and don't remember what the
exact file format was, you have to use the corresponding uncompression tool
(e.g. bunzip2 for file extension .bz2, else for .gz the tar -zxvf
file.tar.gz works).
That done (including extraction from tar file that is (tar -xvf), cd into
the created directory and do the following,
*./configure* - which hopefully finishes w/o error for you as it did on my
machine, else you'd have to install the S/W the script is complaining about
as missing...
*make clean*
*make *- make sure that this finished w/o error messages. If not you'd have
to post in the relevant forum (I surely couldn't debug this [?]
*sudo make install *- and you're done

I did the install on a hardy (my mother's PC and you can imagine that I
can't leave her with an unstable PC OS [?] - but a living example that UBUNTU
is suitable for the everyone (with some support [?]

Hope this helps

Cheers
Christoph
