help installing

[Zer033]

Hi I'm really new to Linux and am trying to learn how to use it but am having some problems installing showeq for linux. I just installed debian and can't figure out how to install showeq, can someone point me to some basic instructions I can understand on how to install or post up where to start and how to do it. I've looked around and tried some things but I really don't know what I'm doing. I've heard some things about updating qt? How would I go about doing this? I found this page http://packages.debian.org/stable/doc/qt3-doc would that be what I need? And I'm not clear on how to download and install it using Linux. Also I found this page http://faq.eqenchanters.org/index.php?action=artikel&cat=383683&id=6&artlang=en
What does that mean? I added what it says to source.list but I don't know what to do from there. I know I'm a big noob but I'm interested in not only installing showeq but learning Linux too. Any help would be appreciated, I'm just having trouble grasping what it is I'm suppose to do, where I am suppose to start etc.

I think the url is fairly clear.

Assuming you are running sarge, you add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.real-time.com/linux/real-time-debpool sarge custom
deb-src ftp://ftp.real-time.com/linux/real-time-debpool sarge custom

Then, as root, I show using sudo to get root, but you could do this

% su -
<root's password>
# apt-get update
# apt-get install showeq
# exit
$ xhost +
# su -
# export DISPLAY=:0.0
# showeq

That should do it.
