Ok i downloaded files to my /root.

i then untar'd them as posted!

after extraction completed what command do i type? i am at a stand still now. what do i do?

you then have to compile as normal...a quick search around here will result in at least 3-4 threads with step-by-step instructions.

Ok so i type this right? i just want to make sure. I am learning!


# cd /root
# mv showeq showeq.old (backups are good)
# tar xvzf showeq-4.3.5.tar.gz
# cd showeq
# make -f Makefile.dist
# ./configure && make && make install


I i use /root cause thats where i downloaded it to right?


tehn after this is done i just type

# showeq
am i correct?

Recompile and you should be gtg. Read around the board here and you'll find compiling instructions in NUMEROUS threads.

[vpresti]

isnt what i just typed the recompile command?

Well for the new doc's say root/seq depends on how and where you put showeq in the first place.

so for me it was:

# cd /seq
# mv showeq showeq.old
# tar xvzf showeq-4.3.5.tar.gz

however for some reason tar would not untar it so I just did it via X

Also if your doing this as a user and not root you may or may not have to do a 'chmod seq 777' to give yourself access to write to /seq. I had to do it that way before I could download the tar ball to the right place and was to lazy to move it. ><

I know bad, bad AlphaBeta.. Shame on me..

[vpresti]

i am logged in as "root"

ok so after i type
# tar xvzf showeq-4.3.5.tar.gz

and it extracts ..i then type
# cd /seq
# mv showeq showeq.old
# tar xvzf showeq-4.3.5.tar.gz

even though i downloaded the files from.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/...tar.gz?download
and put them in my /root folder?

then i can start seq?

*sigh*

download the tar ball to /seq *NOT* /root

Or just do it the old way I hear CVS is back up and running.. ;)
