Hello Everyone Ive just installed Sweep on mdk 8.2 running GCC 3.2 and I thought it I would give some pointers for newbies doing the install on Mandrake 8.2.
First grab a copy of the sweep tar.gz file from http://sweep.sourceforge.net Now you will need to download these packages from http.//rpmfind.net (well I had to) libsndfile-1.0.1-1mdk.src.rpm libtdb-1.0.6-1mdk.src.rpm libgdbm2-devel-1.8.0-18mdk.i586.rpm pkgconfig-0.12.0-2mdk.i586.rpm now lets get the rpm's installed first as root rpm -ihv libgdbm2-devel-1.8.0-18mdk.i586.rpm rpm -ihv pkgconfig-0.12.0-2mdk.i586.rpm now get the source rpm's installed rpm --rebuild libtdb-1.0.6-1mdk.src.rpm rpm -ihv /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/libtdb1*.rpm rpm --rebuild libsndfile-1.0.1-1mdk.src.rpm rpm -ihv /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/lib*.rpm as user cd to were you placed sweep-0.5.6.tar.gz (if you stuck it in your home directory ignore the above) tar zxvf sweep-0.5.6.tar.gz This will unpack sweep type -> cd swee[TAB][ENTER] (autocomplete is neat huh) NOTE - you might have to do this (well I had too) before you run ./configure export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/pkgconfig now lets run ./configure ./configure Now when thats finished type make If all goes well now type su - -c "make install" (enter your root password) Now it should all be OK and you can run sweep sweep & Regards Richard PS If anyone spots any errors please post fixes ASAP ******************************************************************** * Hey if you're going to get mad at me every time I do something * * stupid, then I guess I'll just have to stop doing stupid things! * ******************************************************************** -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
