Re: [newbie] how to install pronto email
Alan, There was another thread on these message boards that outline that the best way to install Pronto was to go get the installer and let it go and get anything it needs and it installs it on your computer for you. Sounds pretty slick to me. Check the site again, must be a place to get the installer too. I know there wa an rpm because I saw it on the download page. Bambi Alan Carpenter wrote: Thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty new at this =). I finally untared pronto in a directory, and ran the prontoinstaller.pl. It started to install, and it quit and said you need to be root to install this program. I was like ok no big deal. So I logged in as root and tried it again, only this time I got some error about "bash command: file or directory not found". It's like it just wouldn't see the file?? Does this have something to do with the bash shell??? Please help if you can =). Also whats RPM??? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Fran Parker Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2000 2:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Newbie@linux-mandrake. com Subject: Re: [newbie] how to install pronto email Hi, Pronto had an RPM on the site...if you are not comfortable with tarballs yet, you might want to go back and get the RPM.

Re: [newbie] how to install pronto email
Move the tarball to a temp directory, unpack it, (tar xvfz package.tar.gz or tar xvfy package.tar.bz2) and enter the directory it creates, and read the directions (README, INSTALL, etc.) Monte --- Alan Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am a newbie =), and need help installing pronto email.
