Operating Systems Linux Gentoo How do I install files in Linux? Post 302093548 by BOFH on Friday 20th of October 2006 08:47:40 AM

What are you trying to install? Can you provide the name of the program? Older programs might require editing a makefile or config.h file to set it up for your system.

Is it a perl package? Is there a Makefile.pl in the directory? You'd have to run "perl Makefile.pl" which would build the correct makefile.

Perhaps the binary has already been created. How about if you run "make distclean"? This will remove all temporary files and the binary so you can build again.

Is there a README or INSTALL file? Docs? The problem for us is we don't have enough information. The two solutions I just noted don't quite match what you're posting as output. How about a list of the files in the main directory? Are you in the right directory when you run the ./configure command?

NAME
Config::Model::models::Debian::Dpkg - Configuration class Debian::Dpkg VERSION
version 2.021 DESCRIPTION
Configuration classes used by Config::Model Model of Debian source package files (e.g debian/control, debian/copyright...) Elements my_config This element contains a set of parameters to tune the behavior of this dpkg editor. You can for instance specify e-mail replacements. These parameters are stored in ~/.dpkg-meta.yml or ~/.local/share/.dpkg-meta.yml. These parameters can be applied to all Debian packages you maintain in this unix account.Optional. Type node. control Package control file. Specifies the most vital (and version-independent) information about the source package and about the binary packages it creates.Optional. Type node. rules - package build rules debian/rules is a makefile containing all intructions required to build a debian package.Optional. Type string. copyright - copyright and license information copyright and license information of all files contained in this package. Optional. Type node. source Optional. Type node. clean - list of files to clean list of files to remove when dh_clean is run. Files names can include wild cards. For instance: build.log Makefile.in */Makefile.in */*/Makefile.in Optional. Type list of uniline. patches Optional. Type hash of node. compat compat file defines the debhelper compatibility level. Optional. Type integer. default: '9'. dirs - Extra directories This file specifies any directories which we need but which are not created by the normal installation procedure (make install DESTDIR=... invoked by dh_auto_install). This generally means there is a problem with the Makefile. Files listed in an install file don't need their directories created first. It is best to try to run the installation first and only use this if you run into trouble. There is no preceding slash on the directory names listed in the dirs file. Optional. Type list of uniline. docs This file specifies the file names of documentation files we can have dh_installdocs(1) install into the temporary directory for us. By default, it will include all existing files in the top-level source directory that are called BUGS, README*, TODO etc. Optional. Type list of uniline. SEE ALSO
