installer

[Girard Henri]

 It depends on the distrib you use .. but most install it when it's done with rpm as a kxxx so try a command in a shell like kpackage and it might appear !!... (if you use M8XX you even got : software manager and / or urpmi which select for you all dependances... which is good nowaday because there are 1000 of files... ) the worse with it : Your distrib can be a bit very enormous... two or 3 Go..
I manage to install it on M.8.1 with 800 Mo devolpment and kde gnome included.. which is quite fair...
regards :)

interesting to me, but when i tried to install them, i have those problems.
some of them were successfully solved with some advices and guides from this
mailing list, thanks. but there are still some remain. anyway, i will try to
explore more into RPM.

I do not want to flame you, but are you new to Linux ?

The best installer to date is RPM, which is a universal installer program
for
Linux and most Unixes. Coming back to InstallShield would hurt most of us.
RPM has many graphical frontends : Kpackage, etc...

Packages can be downloaded from the Internet at http://www.rpmfind.net. All
important GNU softwares have been turned into packages. Kdevelop has options
to generate RPM packages automatically.

That's the power of Linux : newbies do not need to compile. Experts neither.

Best regards,
