Hmm, what distro are you using? If you are using a rpm based one trygetting k3b from www.rpmfind.net or if is not an rpm based distro try getting the source from http://www.k3b.org.

You can get a FC3 rpm package for K3B here.

thanks for the link but u know, now i am getting this error (ie after i dbl clk on the rpm)

Code:

Unlocatble package                                           Requiredby
libFLAC++.so.5                                             &#40;'k3b','0.11.23','3''&#41;
libFLAC.so.7                                               &#40;'k3b','0.11.23','3''&#41;
libFLAC.so.6&#40;GLIBCXX_3.44&#41;                                &#40;'k3b','0.11.23','3''&#41;

and u know the installation stops saying it cannot continue

It is telling you to install libFLAC since it is needed by K3B, look for it at www.rpmfind.net or http://rpm.pbone.net

**mohit dhawan** · 04-10-2005

okay does it install in gnome
bcoz it's name sound so much like kde
just kidding

followed the link downloaded the packages and to install them it again checks for dependencies and asks for a bunch more............. libraries to be installed
before it can install libFLAC
is there any other way i can install it.
or any other burner for that mtter....

OK go to http://k3b.plainback.com/download and scroll down to the section that regardes RedHat and Fedora Core and follow the instructions for either yum or apt-get. Both of these aplications get the dependancies for you.
