Slight problem with installing GNOME Commander
#5

Quote:First .. did you check to see if a RPM was kicking around .... anyway :) 



Code:
yum install glib-devel

<div>


 

When you are installing from source you need extra files (headers and static libraries) the devel packages contain these.

 

So if it says .. X test fails ... try installing x-devel.

 

If it installs correctly it will be put in /usr/local/bin/ by default. It will probably be the only thing in there :P

</div>
 

That wouldn't install in root for some reason, so I went to find the RPM for this (didn't think to do that first) and I tried to install it via terminal following the rpm command (cd'ed to location then rpm -ivh file.rpm and that didn't work :S ) so then I just double clicked it, entered roots password and it worked! Didn't think that RPM's worked that way, it then just showed up under accessorys.

 

Thanks for your help! I am trying to rtfm as much as I can before posting, but some things I just can't find :)

 

Cheers for your help!
