It installs OK for me. The first computer is free, but you have to pay for additional machines. If you have used it before with a different name for your computer then that would explain why it says you must pay. A visit to mandrakeonline.com would allow you to check that. The service does not seem to be operational yet. I think it is checking the update servers which do not show any updates yet. At the moment all enchancements to 10.0 are going into mandrale-devel/stable As for the oroginal poster. What version of Mandrake are you using? If it is not 10.0, then that might explain why it cannot find the required dependency. You need to install the version of mdkonline appropriate for your release. >I've been also trying to install superkaramba and get stopped at ./configure >with the following error: >no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH > That is saying you do not have the gcc compiler installed. You are also likely to get many other errors once you install gcc and you rin ./configure again. Each time you get an error read the message and use urpmf to find the package containg the missing file (see 'man urpmf ) and install it. If you install the entire 'development' group of packages using your Software Installer, then most of the packages you need will be installed. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
