Assuming that tar file name is xyz.tar.gz
First, you need to untar file using tar command. Code:
tar -zxvf xyz.tar.gz Code:
cd xyz Code:
./configure Code:
make Code:
make install Code:
./configure make make install

Hello Manish,
First, you will want to unzip or uncompress the file in your home directory or if you compile programs often, create a folder in your home directory. If downloaded a file and it has extension .tar.gz or .tgz use the following tar command: Code:
tar -xzvf file.tar.gz tar -xzvf file.tgz Code:
tar -xjvf file.tar.bz Code:
gunzip file.gz Code:
bunzip2 file.bz Code:
cd directory Code:
./configure make Code:
make install If the make step does not complete successfully then it means that either the Makefile was created improperly or there is a syntax error in the source which is causing it to fail compiling. If you are RHN subscriber use up2date command to install all software. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-up2date-command/ |

A good place to jump in with a question. Now I downloaded an audacity beta file,
6.5 Mb, and I opened up the audacity........tar.gz, and obtained audacity-src-1.3.2-beta folder. Also I read the ....1.3.2-beta/README.txt. In the compiling instruction it told me to download WxWidgets 2.6.x it is now superseded by a stable 2.8.4, I now have WxWidgets-2.8.4 folder, (both sitting in Desktop). So when I command ./configure, the failure is summed up, Config. error no acceptable c compiler found in path. I believe WxWidgets-2.8.4 is a c compiler, if so where do I put it, As you can see I am new to this. Mike ![]() |

I have got Audacity beta and lame installed, all works fine. But one little problem, my mic. selection input does not work. But in Xp my Audacity installed there works o.k. on mic.
I consider this a minor problem, any thoughts. Mike ![]() |

I have just installed skype, and yes my mic. is not working; fine on XP.
I use my front mic. jack as the rear one does not work on XP. Is that a clue to the problem. Got a feeling someone is going to nail this. Mike ![]() |

Hi All,
Installing the Tarball's are easy when if you installed the developement tools. please make sure that the follow are be in place, 1) Gnu C Compiler formly know as gcc 2) flex,lex,make,gmake,automake etc 3) C 4) bycc 5) bison etc 6) then you can go through the README & INSTALL Documents for the specific software u r trying to install. 7)take the help of ./configure script (i.e) ./configure --help while you are configuring if its gives any error, then try to resolv that issue 1 st . then configure. 9) once if u successfully finished the above steps, then u can go for a "make install" command.make install command simply copies the file's, program's,libreries etc into specific installation --PREFIX directories. 10) Finally do not forget to update ur $PATH variable.b'cz sometime's u cant get those commands just u compiled previously.otherwise u have to issue the absolute path. thanks, aaru Note: Suppose if u want compile software developed in "PHP, Perl,Python" etc then you should have installed those software 1 st before proceed to compile software. |
