Alarm clock for banshee?

[Suchaputz89]

I recently switched from rhythmbox to banshee because I wanted to be able to view video podcasts as well as audio ones, which was not supported by rhythmbox last time I checked (as a side question, has this problem been addressed?) I put an alarm plugin into rhythmbox, which would automatically start playing my music or podcasts at predetermined time. It wasn't perfect, as there was no recurrance and the alarm was to be set everyday, but I loved waking up every day to my favorite audio podcasts.

Apparently, there's a similar plugin for banshee available if you google search banshee alarm linux (note: the linux part is necessary as apparently there's another program called the screaming banshee, which professes to be the world's most annoying alarm clock. I wouldn't recommend it) but I haven't seen it in action, nor have any idea how to install it. Would someone mind giving newbie instructions on how I might go about getting this, or if it's a decent plugin and worth the time?

Thanks and much love,

http://banshee-unofficial-plugins.go...n-0.4.3.tar.gz is the program you want to download.
I'm at a Windows computer at work, so don't remember exact switches to use with tar to unpack it. By the way, what distribution of linux are you using? In a GUI, your archive manager will unpack it, and then follow the readme file that will be included to install it.

Thanks for the help Hal343. I'm using ubuntu 9.04, and managed to unpack and access the install file. Its instructions are fine, but after the ./configure command, I had problems with the 'make' command. The results from the terminal were:

I'd try to google this problem, but I'm too green to even tell where the error is, so if someone could also point out where it went wrong (for my own enlightenment) that would be most appreciated.
