Hi Hassath, You are an excellent diagnostician and an excellent teacher. You were correct on every count. The download on that page of the website is defective. And that's why our work was stalled from that pathway. And the file I got a few days ago and brought back from the trash, that IS the bolnagri-in folder already unzipped. So you're right on that count too--it was ready to go and did not need the first step--that of un-tarring. I did the 2nd and 3rd steps you outlined just now, and it seems to have worked perfectly. Here's the terminal output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd bolnagri-in [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bolnagri-in$ sudo ./install.sh Password: Installing bolnagri-in... Done [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bolnagri-in$ The reason I neglected to put the "sudo" in the install command line yesterday, was at that point I was following the "read-me" file that came with the bolnagri-in folder. And it just says "./install.sh" for that step. Nothing about using "sudo". Actually, the entire read-me instructions are quite misleading, because in that download site the folder came not as a tar file but already unzipped. So there was no need to untar. But the instructions from the read-me file of that very download, still say to do so. Here are the instructions, direct from the read-me file: Untar it # tar zxvf bolnagri-in.tgz Manual # cd bolnagri-in # ./install.sh Who could follow such instructions? Nothing mentioned about no need for the tar command line, and nothing mentioned about using "sudo" in the install command. Anyhow, my last request for you (you've been so very helpful, I am terribly sorry for all the questions!) is that of teaching me how to set up the bolnagri-in application so I can use it. Ok, the application is installed. --But where is it??? I cannot find any icon to click to make it active. I have SCIM, but it does not seem to appear anywhere in the SCIM language options pop-up window. Here are two cryptic lines from the Bolnagri read-me file, which may give a hint as to how to set up the Bolnagri application. I do not know how to execute what they suggest, but hopefully you do. "Bolnagri is a phonetic devanagari keymap....It can now be used through keyboard layout switchers by adding the option India - Hindi Bolnagri keymap / Bolnagri" Could you tell me how to set up the above "layout switcher"? Maybe this is the key to getting a start-up icon for the application.
