Am 05. Mai, 2008 schwätzte Josef Lowder so:
My system is Mandriva 2006 so I don't think apt-get will work and I do not have Synaptic on this system. The fbreader website says that the download is for Linux desktops and it does not seem to be source code that needs to be compiled. It says to extract it in the root directory, so I tried to do that in /root and that resulted in a lot of subdirectories including 'share' and 'usr' and 'bin' and some others ... and trying to execute 'fbreader' does not work, but gives an error message referring to some missing 'lib' file.So, I wonder if they meant I was supposed to extract the tarball in '/' rather than '/root' ... and I wonder if there is any risk in trying to do that since there are already existing directories by the same names in the top '/' directory.
I'm certain they mean /. I consider that to be bad form. If you're going to just extract it, then extract it in /usr/local instead. That'll at least put it all there and not mess with the packages you got from Mandriva. After extracting into /usr/local you might need to run ldconfig to make sure your system knows about new libraries. You might also need to adjust your PATH to include /usr/local/bin or exclusively call the utility, /usr/local/bin/fbreader. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ https://LOPSA.org/ # veni, vidi, wiki - I came, I saw, I documented
