Install

As a complete newbie to the world of linux, I am completely baffled about how to install Kopete from either of the kopete 0.8 beta 1 files. At the end of the day, they are a type of zip file and I have no idea which directory to put them in! Suggestions?...

Hi,

It's all very simple all you have to do is follow this instruction.

If you download .gz do: -- tar xvzf filename.tar.gz

If you download .bz2 do: -- bzip2 -d filename.tar.bz2
then -- tar xvf filename.tar

After extracting the files, for a simple way to compile go into the directory you just extracted and type in:

./configure -- wait it's completion
then
make -- wait it's completion
then
make install

All going well it's now installed. But I can tell you that lots of people are having problems installing and compiling .8 beta.

Good luck

It's probably better to not compile the program yourself but to use an RPM-file (if you're using a RPM-based Distro) - or something similar.
