[SOLVED] Busting my cherry

[rokytnji]

As the title says, I am for the 1st time bypassing synaptic and am trying to install a tar.bz2 file using terminal. I am following techie moes tutorial and have gotten to "./configure " when things go wrong. 1st off there is no read me file for the install. the tar.bz2 file is eikon2rc3r20081022.tar.bz2
I am running Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.2.24
IBM M-41 Desktop P1.8, 1gig ram

Here is what I get in terminal

harry@harry-desktop:~/src$ ls
Eikon eikon2-rc3-r20081022.tar.bz2
harry@harry-desktop:~/src$ cd Eikon eikon2-rc3-r20081022.tar.bz2
harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$ ls
extras index.theme scalable
harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$ more INSTALL
INSTALL: No such file or directory
harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$


Hope I have provided enough information, and look foward to finding out where I went wrong.

Not every file needs to be done with ./configure. Check the directory for a configure file, if there exists one then the method of ./configure then make then sudo make install is correct, if not then that has some other method (most use ./configure but just today I downloaded a game that didn't have that method and instead just had a direct executable, Mozilla products are the same way where they just untar with the executable ready). If you need help go into the folder (cd in terminal) and paste the contents of the folder into here.

[GNU-Fan]

Actually, he did provide the folder's content, but it was well hidden:

harry@harry-desktop:~/src/Eikon$ ls
extras index.theme scalable

Looking at it, I assume it is a Icon package for the Gnome desktop. Contrary to what harry's src folder suggest, there is no source code involved and, therefore, no compilation needed.

If I remember correctly, you can install new Icon themes in Gnome's appearance manager by dragging the archive (.tar.bz2) from the desktop in the manager window.

[rokytnji]

Yes it is an icon package for the Gnome desktop. I have left terminal open in case there was a next step needed to be done. The archive {.tar.bz2} is in my home directory right now in a src folder that I made using make directory. If I can just drag it from the folder, where exactly would I drop it to to enable it. I didn't paste the whole output of terminal as it is very long. But anyways here it is

I haven't figured out yet how to paste output of terminal into a little box yet like I have seen other forum members do yet so excuse the long post.

Have you tried this?

Tried installing using archive manager leaving Eikons tar.bz2 in src folder. I hit extract in Archive manger. I didn't get the

And clicking on the "Go to Theme Folder" in the Icon tab of the Theme Details window will take to the correct location for Icon themes.
Forgot to mention that this is from trying your link there, Thrillhouse.

What do you mean by "in src folder"? Did you extracting to ~/.icons?

[rokytnji]

Ok should I start ocer in terminal and just enter ~/.icons ? I tried the other step mentioned in step 2 . It said there was 2 methods. One was to use Archive manager and the other said using terminal but instead of ~/.themes use ~/.icons. I went ahead and tried using archive manger. My src folder weas made because of techie moes intructions on installing tar,bz2 software. I have been trying dragging and dropping these icons on top of browser icons on desktop but all it does is display the image on the browser. I usually only use the quick launch icons in the taskbar, but I figured I would try to learn how to install software through terminal for a change. I picked icons as figuring they would be the least harmful if I flubbed it up. My Desktop is always clear of icons as I prefer using taskbar. I am just trying to learn I guess and not doing a very good job of it.

Just for info, I also tried dragging and dropping the tar.bz2 Eikon into themes on Desktop appearence and got a failed to install. Tried also the Extracted folder the same way and got same error message. So trying to install in themes is a no go. I will try digging in some more.

Well after going through file system, and opening usr folder. I found a src folder in there with all the kernel headers in it. So I got nervous and just went ahead and deleted the other src folder I made in Home folder area With the Eikons tar.bz2 in it. Figured I don't need 2 src folders in 2 different locations in file systems. I guess I picked the wrong app to try and install using techie moes method. I appreciate your help guys.Thank you.
