Normally, if you were to install source code you would follow these steps: As your normal user: - download the .tar.gz tarball - Type tar zxvf foo.tar.gz to untar/zip it - cd foo to change into the new directory - Read the documentation, such as README, INSTALL, etc. - Run the ./configure script (if necessary - the documentation will tell you). Then, once everything is done, become root using su command and type make install Poof! -Chris On Wed, 13 Sep 2000, you wrote: > > well how can i fix this > > > > In a message dated 13-Sep-00 20:54:06 Central Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > << Thus spake [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > > how do i install files that i need for my computer, they arent rpms, but i > > need them installed and i cant find the install command in linux, the > readme > > file that came with it says to use "make install" but linux says there is > no > > such command, so what am i supposed to use??? > > If your system doesn't have the make command the install is seriously > incomplete. > >> > > ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/plain; name="message.footer" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: ----------------------------------------
