hello all,

 

I've installed ubuntu (my first steps in linux after a false start 4 years ago) and it's nice... all is easy

 

but i can't seem to figure out how to install stuff that isn't in the package list:

 

I've been looking around, and everywhere people say make this and make that... but my ubuntu "can't" make, so I installed make from the package list, but it returns errors everytime...

 

what should I do/install to get it working (btw I'm on the powerpc version)

have a look in the compiling section, it may help you,

What error do you get?
