If you happen to be running Debian, then checkout the prebuilt packages here: http://gefechtsdienst.de/uman/e17-alpha.html#repository I used them for a while until I began compiling E17 myself. Building from source is actually quite easy if you first install the necessary -dev packages from your distribution and then builds things in order: http://get-e.org/User_Guide/English/_pages/2.1.html Simple checkout the source and try to compile and install it, starting with eet. Compile and install each component one after another. When you run into an error it's most likely caused by you not having the necessary headers installed --- read the error message and try to figure out which package in your distribution has the requested file. With Debian you can search for the right package here: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents Your distribution will most likely have a similar webpage or a tool you can use. If you run autogen.sh as './autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/opt' or something similar, then 'make install' wont touch anything in your system directories either, so there's no chance of messing things up. -- Martin Geisler GnuPG Key: 0x7E45DD38 PHP EXIF Library | PHP Weather | PHP Shell http://pel.sf.net/ | http://phpweather.net/ | http://mgeisler.net/ Read/write EXIF data | Show current weather | A shell in a browser
