Problem installing kxdocker in kubuntu 6.06

[chandan]

I'm trying to install kxdocker-1.0.0a in kubuntu 6.06 (32bit edition). When I try ./configure i get an error message saying

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details.

How do I install applications and is there any simple method which might help me install applications/programs easier. Also request ur suggestions pertaining to above error message. Thanks

Use a package manager instead of trying to install from the command line.

Preferably use Synaptic Package Manager because it is best.

K Menu> System> Synaptic Package Manager.

Do a search for kxdocker.

KXdocker appears in my Synaptic, but my repositories must be different.

You can get it fom Linux App Finder at http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kxdocker

I think you need to "Enable extra repositories" to get Kxdocker.

Kubuntu comes with Adept Package Manager - which is sort of buggy. You can however use it to install Synaptic Package Manager which doesn't hang nearly as much. Also - nearly every howto out there is based on using Synaptic. To install it:

Kmenu>System>Adept(Package Manager)

Use the search function to find Synaptic. Right click it and chose install. Click the Apply button.

Once it's downloaded and installed it will *not* create a menu entry so open the Konsol and type

kdesu synaptic

Once you do that there is a very nice how to on installing stuff in K/ubuntu here:

If kxdocker is buggy on your rig check out kooldock. It's not as fancy as kxdocker but much easier to configure.

If kxdocker is buggy on your rig check out kooldock

Have a look at this. Kooldock is visually very similar to Kxdocker

Hi Chandan
the error message you received was exactly what it said you have no c compiler installed you need to install gcc its in the repositories use what ever package manager you prefer to install it, or the command line.
