[srikar]

Let me explain my problem briefly :::-
I must install 2 softwares(linux supported) on my friends system.

Those softwares(dlink and the other 24 0nline client) make him to access internet .

Those softwares are . tar files.

I followed the procedure to install .tar files given by integre8 here http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3088317.0

Firstly i tried to install the first one. I extracted that .tar file on to the desktop. and moved to that directory in the terminal.
And wen i do . /configure it says no such file or directory.

wat to do.

Re: problem at terminal while using . /configure !!!!!!

#1 When you have unpacked tar: LOOK at README or INSTALL files
When you have unpacked tar check if there is README or INSTALL files. They will (could be) contain instructions how to compile.

Those softwares are . tar files.

About tar:

Topic: TAR BALLS
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3085135.0


In the tar ball could be:

1) Run ready program. You just unpack it and run it.
Example:
RecomXaraLX0.7_rev1692.tar.bz2

2) Source code. Unpack -> compile -> program.

Re: problem at terminal while using . /configure !!!!!!

Also note that there is no space between '.' and '/' in ./configure.

'./' means run from current working directory, so './configure' means run the configure script in the current working directory (if there is a configure script)

If there isn't, read the documentation like Rog131 pointed out (it's a good idea to read the documentation anyway)

Re: problem at terminal while using . /configure !!!!!!

What is the exact location of the software that you have downloaded?
Once I download it also, I will try to install it and will try to let you know what is going on.

Re: Please help me in installing this software!

Read the 'linux.txt' file in the tarball. It has installation instructions... which read something like

make install

Follow the directions listed in that file. You might have to run the make install with sudo, I don't know for sure.

Re: Please help me in installing this software!

Re: Please help me in installing this software!

now, you may have a better time giving us what specific lan card you are working with as afaik, the via-rhine drivers dlink and others use seem to be already supported in linux, so i am wondering if it a setup/configuration problem, or maybe a networkmanager problem. I doubt that compiling the drivers will help

We basically need more info in order to help. What has been done to try configuring the network settings? Have you tried setting it up manually in System Settings - default gatway and nameservers and such? What is '24hour Online client'?
