Okay. I've got computer experience going back to vacuum tubes, but I just installed Ubuntu a couple of weeks ago. I like it so far. There are some things that puzzle me, such as installing applications. I checked Synaptic for the modules you mention in http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/quackle/message/981 and installed them all from the Ubuntu repositories. But they disappeared after installation -- there's no trace on the menus, and while I found the installed files in /usr/share, I don't know how to use them to compile Quackle. Other modern compilers I've used work from a development environment. Trolltech may have such a thing on their website, but it's going a little too far afield to trace it down and figure out how to use it. I'm fine with learning how to use the compiler; learning other stuff takes more time than I'm eager to spend. How do I create a menu entry for Qt4? How do I use it to compile Quackle? Thanks -- this *is* something I'd like to learn. Jim Caughran
