View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install a program called Slam Soccer 2006 (it's original name is bolzplatz2006). Anyway, no package is available, so I'm having to install it using the tar.gz file. I've read all the Documentation that I could find on ubuntu sites, and I think I understand the extract, configure, make, install process. However, I keep getting stuck on the ./configure phase. When I type ./confiure into the command line it keeps telling me that no such command exists. I tried downloading Kludge Tarball installer so I could have a graphic interface to walk me through the problem. Everything seems fine until I get to the configure phase and I get the following message:

I've just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. This is the first time I've ever dealt with linux, and was very much a spur of the moment thing (probably not ideal, I know). My laptop is only small and does not have a disc drive.I would like to install World of Warcraft onto my laptop. Usually my plan of action would be to pop the files under Program Files onto an external hard drive, then copy them over and voila.I'm not 100% sure what the Ubuntu equivalent is to Program Files. Google search suggests usr/bin, but it requires permission to move files there and I'm really not sure how to go about doing this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a really old Dell computer (Dell PowerEdge 1300) that I am wanting to use as a small server (samba file server and apt-cacher-ng). I installed Ubuntu server and then did "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop" which was a bad idea because it killed the performance.So here is my question.Ive read you can split the X client and server. Would that let me run a graphical program (like Synaptic) over X without installing any sort of GUI on the Dell?If that is the case, how would I go about doing so?If I would still have to install a GUI on the Dell, what are other options since the on-board display adapter seems to struggle with graphics?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to install MPGrafic (google it to open the package) without succeeding. (I also have in my home directory). The problem is that, in order to install it, I need the 2 version of the fftw (I've downloaded the 2.1.5 from the fftw website). I install
everything in the folder /libraries (I don't have writing permission on the /usr/lib folder)
./configure --enable-mpi --enable-type-prefix --enable-float
--prefix=/libraries
make install
[code]....
I got an error: I need the fftw with double precision. So I think the ./configure does not read the library properly, or I need another version of the library or I need other flags.

On Ubuntu, all you need to do is install the following packages from the package manager:

I am trying to load vmware server. When running vmware-install.pl it asks where to load the bin files. Default is /usr/bin. Cool with me, so I accept then get the error:
"There is insufficient disk space available in /usr/bin. Please make at least an additional 5924k available or choose another directory."
Ok, so in my searches, most cases people actually do have a full disk. I have 30gb free. Another post somewhere stated it could be the file system used, so I tried different file systems. Now I am back on etx3. What's odd is when I blow away the OS and reload and try to install VMware again, I get a different number to be "freed" in the error. Choosing another directory only yeilds a different disk space request.

I am installing a program on a server as a non-root user. Specifically it is tmux 1.5, but this should apply broadly to all locally installed program in my opinion (I mention the program name in case this problem ends up not being my own error).
The program requires me to install some dependent libraries (e.g. libevent and ncurses). So, I installed them both locally since I do not have root access
cd $HOME/library/installation/folder
DIR=$HOME/local
./configure --prefix=$DIR
#... make ... make install
[Code]....
Ok, so this installs the program without problems into $HOME/local/bin, but if I run the executable: $HOME/local/bin/tmux , I get the following error:
tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It would seem to me that the program cannot find the desired libraries, but the file libevent-2.0.so.5 does indeed exist in $HOME/local/lib as specified in the configure options. I am wondering how I can get the program to recognize the installed library in order to run. I tried putting symbolic links in $HOME/lib, $HOME/bin, and $HOME/local/bin, but none of these worked.

In case it helps the file is called "truecrypt-6.3a-linux-x86.tar.gz". Apart from not knowing how to get a working program from the .tar.gz file, I don't know whether the installation process sorts out where the file should go and puts it there, or whether I have to create a directory for it and put it there myself.
