You, sir, are my hero. smile

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. As for the google
advice, you're right, I was trying to do it that way, but I couldn't
generate the proper terminology to get help with what I was
actually having problems with. My own fault I assure you, it is
humorous that sometimes, if you don't know enough about what
you are doing, you don't know enough to ask questions to find
out about it either!

Thanks for the reply Mehall, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately
all I get is that it couldn't find the package. I am sure that I am
still doing something wrong though *chuckle*.

Greetings all, this is I'm sure a very simply thing for most of you, and
I apologize in advance for the newbness of my question, but I am
having a problem. I have very little experience installing
things using configure, make and make install, thanks in part to the
wonderful job that has been done with Synaptic. However, I am trying
to learn the CLI from scratch and this was a good opportunity to do
so. The program I am trying to install is called Kildclient, and although
there is a version in the repositories, it is not the newest.

So enough back story, here is the issue. So far, I have installed autoconf,
downloaded and extracted the source, and tried to run configure. The
output displayed is as follows:

                              gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0
                              libglade-2.0 >= 2.5.0) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gthread-2.0' found
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'libglade-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables KILDCLIENT_CFLAGS
and KILDCLIENT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Now, if I am looking at the right packages in Synaptic, they are there.
Could someone give me a nudge in right direction? Alternatively, could
someone point me to a book/webpage where all this would be made
more clear?

I also installed svn, and downloaded a version that way, since it is the
suggested means of getting the newest version, but I couldn't get
configure to work at all in that case. It just said file not found or something
close.

Thanks for your help.

Just wanted to stop and say hello to everyone. I have
been using linux on and off for a long time, but have never
actually sat down and truly mastered the command line.
That is something I hope to rectify this time! I am really
enjoying #! so far and would like to thank all those
involved in making it great.

Quick question for you all. I am having this same problem (trying to
connect with wpa2 just asks for the key over and over) and I am
not sure I can implement this solution. If I am reading this right, the
backports module that I need to remove is what makes my wifi
card work in the first place, since I have an atheros 928x. Is this
true? If so, does anyone know of a solution that will work for me?

Thanks for your time.

Ok, well the Sata issue about switching between enhanced and compatible
in the BIOS seems to be the problem. Everything installed now and running
well. Now I just need a 64bit edition so I can see all 4Gb of my ram!

P.S. This is the fastest desktop distro I have ever used. Just awesome.

I am trying to install #! and the installer keeps failing on me at 5% while
creating the file system. The error reported is as follows:
(bear with me if there are a couple typos, I have to type these out by hand)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 229, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 224, in main
install(args[0])
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 68, in install
ret = wizard.run()
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py", line 437, in run
self.progress_loop()
File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py", line 828, in progress_loop
"/var/log/syslog" % ret)
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1; see /var/log/syslog

At this point, no programs will open, thus why I had to type this by hand,
and all I can do is tell #! to shut down. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your time.
