Last Thursday 24 June 2004 22:52, RickTaylor(a)speakeasy.net was like:
You can use alien to convert it to a .deb and then
either install it
{provided you have the required bits and pieces} or open it up and install
the files manually.
I hadn't thought of that!
Gut feeling says it will be quicker and more educational for me to do the
compile thing. If/when I get errors, I will also get some generally
comprehensible output that I can attach to my questions. I guess it's got to
be worth a try though.
Thanks for the suggestions. I shall mull for a bit.
cheers
