newbie problem

[Errol Sapir]

I tried to install the latest beta version from a tarball. I went to the site (quoted below), and tried to execute them.

Installing a tarball

Installing a tarball will get you the most up-to-date stable version of digiKam. But it can happen that you run into all kinds of problems related to compiling.

So, if your distribution is running behind a lot, you can install a tarball. First you have to download digiKam from one of the sourceforge mirrors. You can do that from here

Extract the tarball via tar -xvjf filename.bz2, enter the extracted directory and then you need to issue a set of commands. The first command requires a parameter, which is the prefix. This will be the base path of the installation. If you want to install it mixed with your other software you can use the output of kde-config --prefix as a prefix. Else specify the installation map you like. In the following, we assume the /usr prefix.

Set of commands to build the tarball:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
su -c "make install"

When going into the extracted directory I get the following output when typing ./command:

errol@errol-linux:~$ cd /home/errol/digikam-1.0.0-beta3
[hidden email] ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
 
Where am I going wrong?

Take a look in README file to see how to compile digiKam. You use an old way...

Installing a tarball

Installing a tarball will get you the most up-to-date stable version of
digiKam. But it can happen that you run into all kinds of problems related
to compiling.

So, if your distribution is running behind a lot, you can install a tarball.
First you have to download digiKam from one of the sourceforge mirrors. You
can do that from here

Extract the tarball via tar -xvjf filename.bz2, enter the extracted
directory and then you need to issue a set of commands. The first command
requires a parameter, which is the prefix. This will be the base path of the
installation. If you want to install it mixed with your other software you
can use the output of kde-config --prefix as a prefix. Else specify the
installation map you like. In the following, we assume the /usr prefix.

Set of commands to build the tarball:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
su -c "make install"

When going into the extracted directory I get the following output when
typing ./command:

errol@errol-linux:~$ cd /home/errol/digikam-1.0.0-beta3
[hidden email] ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Where am I going wrong?
