need help with making

[robotichead]

i want to install beryl onto my computer, and sadly i havent been able to apt-get it or find any useful *.deb packages. so i went to the sites and downloaded the tars... i then unpacked one of them (the beryl-core), and tried to make it... configuring it was fine (after installing certain packages), but making it just isnt working... what am i doing wrong...

thanks for your help

[devils casper]

Which version of Debian are you using?

cat /etc/debian_version

Beryl is available for Debian Etch here.

[daark.child]

The error message you got can be resolved by installing x11proto-gl-dev. You may also want to install libgconf2-dev. If you do not want to compile from source, then just use the Debian packages as suggested above.

thanks devils_casper, i am going to do it your way (might be 10 times easier than any other way), and i am just apt-getting now... :P
