And, if it is not in the openSUSE repo, it is better to get the source and compile it yourself than to use alien and deb. Imo, the best options in order are: -use YaST/Zypper to install from an openSUSE repo -use YaST/Zypper to install from a community repo -search at Software.openSUSE.org and --download rpm file and use YaST to install it --download rpm file and use rpm at a CLI to install it -download, compile and install source -use a one-click install found at Software.openSUSE.org with CAUTION -use alien and deb with CAUTION -use any other one-click install anywhere on the net with CAUTION ymmv -- palladium.

Use google to find the source, a search string kinda like: imageshack-uploader-2.2. Command And Conquer Generals Zero Hour World Builder Free Download. 0 source should work, if not wiggle the search string some. Download the source 3. Compile it hint: there are about 1000 threads here (in the wiki or in the forums) and on the internet about how to extract source from a 'tar ball' and compile/install it hint2: you will need a compiler (as one is not default installed in openSUSE after about 11.0)--you can install a free one using YaST (how to do that is in about 5,000 threads here, use the forums advanced search page to learn how). Hint3: run configure and make as a regular user hint4: run make install as root (some use check install, but i've not tried it) hint5: never log into KDE/Gnome etc as root.instead always become root as needed in a terminal or by running a specific app (like YaST, Kate, or Dolphin) as root (guess what?

This guide shows how to replace Windows with openSUSE Linux with. You can now choose to install openSUSE to one of the. How To Dual Boot Windows 8.1 And Debian.

You can learn how to do that by using the forum's searcher too, or just go here: welcome to the ranks of 'advanced linux newby' were learning *how*to* is more important that just simply asking a question and expecting a step-by-step, beginning-to-end reply. If you run into trouble, come back BEFORE you murder your system, or cat.

-- palladium. Hi Palladium, Thanks for your reply. Interesting stuff.

I am going to try to compile an rpm version of the imageshack uploader as a useful exercise (I think that a bit of expertise in compiling will be useful for me). However, I will need more of your help before I can go it alone with google and the wikis. I did the first step that was to find the website where the source is available (see the following web page) Here I am completely lost. What do I have to click to get hold of the source code?

>I am going to try to >compile an rpm version of the imageshack uploader as a useful exercise >(I think that a bit of expertise in compiling will be useful for me). Well, i think you are mixing terms.you can take source and compile then install without ever packaging it into a RPM. Compile source package RPM i've compiled several different thing in the last years but have never considered making an RPM (that is whole'nother thing.and a step NOT required to compile and install from source. >However, I will need more of your help before I can go it alone with >google and the wikis. Read more.it really isn't as hard as it might first appear. >I did the first step that was to find the website where the source is >available (see the following web page) 'Source Checkout - >imageshack-uploader - Project Hosting on Google Code' >() >>Here I am completely lost.

What do I have to click to get hold of the >source code? Hehe.ok, you didn't run into what i expected.let me try to explain what i consider 'normal': all the source code, and instructions are packed up nice and neatly into an archive (like zip but most often tar.bz or something similar).and you click on the link and save it to somewhere (where you can find it). Then i unpack it to a temporary directory in my /home.from there it is usually just read the README and if there is a README.linux or similar it too.always there are other things in there and everything with an interesting name i look at. Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic Software Free Download Antivirus. and then just follow the directions.and read some of the ten thousand good examples on the web.

>Is this newby being too ambitious??? But you didn't find that---NOPE, you found some hackers source tree of everything.and he wants you to make a complete 'clone' of his directory on your machine. Sorry, i've never done that before and can't find a 'hg' or 'hg clone' on my machine so.those TWO things 1) no tar.bz and 2) hg tells me this is something special.and i don't wanna learn that much, just to be able to upload images to imageshack. (call me lazy, i do not care) here is what lazy old men do: in firefox Menu >Tools >Add-ons >Get Add-ons i search for 'imageshack' and find so many different things i'm SURE i don't have to learn about cloning some hackers dev tree.

But, Feather Monkey already knows. -- palladium.
