Gpredict Installation

I'm still not clear on how to install the different types of packages. I've dl the .tar.gz and extracted gpredict 5 to my home directory. I tried following the install text and seem to be missing most of these libs. I looked by searching synaptic.How do I get them in Breezy?

Instructions:

In order to compile and install Gnome Predict from source you will need the following libraries:

• gnome-libs and gnomeui-libs 1.4 (NOT 2.0!)
• GConf 1.0.4
• gdk-pixbuf and libgnomecanvaspixbuf 0.8
• gnome-vfs and libgnome-vfs 1.0
• gnome-print and libgnomeprint 0.25
• libgal 0.11

If you are using a fairly new linux distribution and you have Gnome installed, these libraries are probably installed already. Note, however, that you will also need the header files which are usually included in the so called develop- ment packages, ie. gnome-libs-devel, gnome-print-devel etc. If you are unsure, just go on to the next section - you will be notified during compilation, if you need any of the above libraries.

---------------

1. Installation

To install Gnome Predict from source you type:

./configure --disable-nls make su [enter root password] make install

(If you got the source code from the CVS repository, you should run './autogen.sh' instead of './configure'.) If you don't get any errors during these steps, Gnome Predict should be installed

This is the output from running ./configure --disable-nls

Thanks for any help you can give.

This woked to me:

sudo apt-get install gnome-libs-data libgnomeui-0 gconf libgdk-pixbuf2 libgdk-pixbuf-dev gnome-vfs-extfs libgnomevfs2-common libgnomeprint15 libgnomeprint-data libgnomeprint-dev libgnome-vfs0 libgnome-vfs-common libgnome-vfs-dev libgal-dev libgal2.0-6 libgal2.0-common libgal-data hamlib3 hamlib-dev

Thanks! I had to add a hamlib but got it to work. So cool.

You also taught me that I could put all those commands together, I didn't know that. Plenty of times I wish I could have done that. This was worth the pain in the a.. just to find that out.

I got an error : installation! configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for vflow

would you know what it is ?

How can I install gnome-libs-devel ?

Thank you !!

im getting a similar problem cant find gnomeConf.sh file im trying to set up internet connection with buntu 5.04 and have no idea what im doing im new to linux and buntu(old windows user) i found a package called gnome-dialup-0.4.5.tar.gz im trying to install it using the terminal i cant use synaptic cause i downloaded this file from another pc onto a memory stick, then placed it on the desktop on the laptop, extract it and thats it now im stuck.... i have tried these two things below but get all sorts of error perhaps im in the wrong directory???these things below where done in the folder of the unzipped package above sudo apt-get -f -y install fftw-dev this reads the package list and builds a dependency tree then says cant find package fftw sudo apt-get build-essential this says invalid operation build essential so whats happening??? or can someone tell me how to connect or set an internet connection any help would be appreciated regards alex

This woked to me:

sudo apt-get install gnome-libs-data libgnomeui-0 gconf libgdk-pixbuf2 libgdk-pixbuf-dev gnome-vfs-extfs libgnomevfs2-common libgnomeprint15 libgnomeprint-data libgnomeprint-dev libgnome-vfs0 libgnome-vfs-common libgnome-vfs-dev libgal-dev libgal2.0-6 libgal2.0-common libgal-data hamlib3 hamlib-dev

Here's what I'm getting when I run this command string:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done gnome-libs-data is already the newest version. libgnomeui-0 is already the newest version. gconf is already the newest version. libgdk-pixbuf2 is already the newest version. libgnomevfs2-common is already the newest version. E: Couldn't find package libgal2.0-6

Any idea why libgal2.0-6 can't be found? I'm running Dapper right now, could this be part of my problem? I've tried this on both Breezy and Dapper and it's killing me, I can't figure this out. Please help!! ](*,)

Disregard the above post, I just installed the package in Synaptic and even though it's not the latest release, it works fine. Smooth
