I'm about to loose my mind

[noob1e]

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

I need to run Kdevelop, to program in C. However I can't for the life of me install it.

I searched for it with KPackage Kit, it didn't find it.
I entered sudo aptitude search kdevelop into the terminal, also for no result.
I downloaded a tarball i think its called but have no idea what to do with it after reading up on them.

It's probably because its kinda late, but i just feel like I'm being mauled by walls of text.

Could someone please explain to me in dumb terms how to install kdevelop, I guess I've gotten way to used to installing program by just clicking next over and over.

open Kpackagekit and click settings then click eddit software sorses and make shuer all the boxes are checked on the Kubuntu software tabe then close and click apply.

now go to the updates tabe and click refresh..........install eney updates if you like ..........now redo your seartch for Kdevelop .

it IS in the repos and in universe...........I wouldent mess with the tar ball yet.

You might try synaptic instead of kpackagekit. It's in the repository
sudo apt-get install synaptic

Under the file menu it has a history of the files you installed or removed listed under the day you added and removed them. Makes a nice reference. it also is more logically laid out and easier to use.

BTW, if you see my mind walking by would you tell it to come home? I miss it!
