What's this program? Edit: How do I install this program?

[Ed]

Here's an screenshot (just one of many) that I've seen that has a really interesting looking resource monitor in it.

Does that come with Red Hat 8, or do I need to download it somewhere? If so, where?

Thanks.

i personally think it looks like gkrellm, and if you check out http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5390 which is the info page for that screen shot, there is a couple of references about the gkrellm skin. but if you really want to know post a message to author with everyone else asking ?'s. Just ask what it is.

gkrellm = http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html

Well, I did "make" and it worked, then I typed "make install" and it gave this error:

What did I do wrong?

[crippler909]

try doing

make install

as root, if you would prefer i do belive you can pick up a RPM version from redhat. Or get a version from here http://psyche.freshrpms.net/. there are links on the (edit) left side of the page to get gkrellm, plugins, themes, development packages.

Woohoo! Thanks for the help!

[crippler909]

sure no problem

[yowwww]

I installed gkrellm on my system and it respawned like crazy and I ended up taking it off after closing it about 250 times! lol Needless to say it isn't on my system anymore.
