many things dont exist on many distros. Procedure to be followed is: 1. check the cds if the app you want is there else 2. look for rpms for the app and your distro on the net else 3. download the source and install from source option 3 is *always* available, and installation from source is usually very simple: 1. unpack the package (tar -xvzf) 2. run ./configure 3. make 4. make install the only thing to worry about is default installation path. Most packages by default go to /usr/local, but mandrake prefers /usr. This is solved by giving the 'prefix option' to configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr check the README and INSTALL files for exact syntax -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
