I recently started using linux (three days ago) so please excuse the potentially trivial problem that I can't seem to resolve. I am trying to compile a program called FRANz found here. I asked a few linux users at the university here and they can't seem to get the program compiled. I have also searched using the errors that pop up after running ./configure, and after installing a few packages that I apparently needed and am still at a loss. After running ./configure I get the error config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'. I recently updated the OS from Ubuntu to Mint 13 Maya to see if it was a problem with having a really old OS, that didn't help either.

 

Looking back up at what gets spit out during configure these are the errors I see:

 

checking gvc.h usability... no

checking gvc.h presence... no

checking for gvc.h... no

 

checking for _doprnt... no

 

For the gvc erros I installed packages graphviz and libgvc5, but they did not change anything.

I can't find much on doprnt, so maybe it is specific to the program I am trying to compile. I have gone throug the conf.log and included what I thought might be relevant. I really appreciate any help anyone could offer me. Let me know if more of the config log would be helpful.

Thanks,

AR

That much was surprisingly easy for someone who has only ever installed fedora and red hat, but never been able to do much with them, however Ubuntu has my interest and I want to do more.

I intend to do some security checking of Wlans, my own first, I am told these two apps (Aircrack and Kismet) can crack a wpa-psk in under an hour. I have downloaded the Atheros drivers for the Cisco-CB21AG pcmcia card I intend to use but am a bit stumped as to how to get them into the notebook (IBM thinkpad R52). Following the newbie guide at aircrack-ng. I would get an error message in the terminal telling me that "make" was an unknown command, so I went back into synaptic and found "make", "makedev" and "makedepend". I installed these and now make tries to run but gives me...

I am trying to compile an app that was built with older versions of the kde and qt libraries. Specifically, kdelibs-1.1.2 and qt-1.4.4. If I install these lib's will it screw up my desktop and/or other apps that rely on kde/qt?

 

I should note that I have tried to load the rpm and Yast gives me package dependancy errors referring to these libs.

I'm using SuSE 9.0 Personal and I want to install new versions of the graphical apps it has. Whenever I try to ./configure any of these apps - I get:

 



Code:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!




 

I have tried recompiling it numerous times (with and without thread support), installing an RPM, but the funny thing is, the graphical apps using QT that come with SuSE are already installed and working fine. How do I install QT stuff?

 

Also, I now seem to have a similar problem with GTK apps. I tried to ./configure The GIMP 2.2.8, and I get:

So far the best idea I have is that I have to unpack the package, go into the new created folder, and then run: ./configure, make, make install; in that order. I am running into a problem with "make". Here is the problem:

 

[root@jonas xmms-kde-3.1]# make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

 

this has happened with several different programs. Can anyone explain why this is happening? I am running Mandrake 9.2 with the KDE desktop. Thanks!
