linux noob looking for help

[Anonymous]

Hi,

i just managed to get away from windows and hop onto the linux-train.

I was looking for a decent replacement for zmud which i used back when i was a windows-user.

Now that i am using linux i tried tintin, tinyfugue and gnome-mud. Sadly they either lack
a graphical user interface as i am used to from zmud or they lack the functionality of triggers,
aliases and highlights.

So i downloaded the src of ggmud 0.6 and hit make as a friend told me... terrible error messages
appeared.

Well i am using Ubuntu 6.06 dapper Drake and was hoping if anyone could tell me if i had to install
certain packages or to make any modifications to the Makefile in order to get the installation process
working. Maybe someone could create and post a .deb or a .rpm installation package, since i already
learned how to install them ... hmm ..

When i tried to call 'make' Ubuntu returned:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Then i tried to find that gtk+-2.0 and realised, that Ubuntu does not know such a package... so i ended up lost... please anyone with an idea how to solve my problem .. please help .. since while mudding i really miss all the nice features zmud had and ggmud offers to have ... THX in advance

Best regards,

Ingo

Try this:
locate gtk+
Identify the path to the location of the gtk+ library and then do:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=(path to the gtk+ library)

I hope this helps.

There is a linux binary of the 0.5 version, for testing purpose I think it's more than enough, the 0.6 is source only at the moment cause we are still working on his feature set.

I'm quite sure anyway you miss the development package for gtk.

Bye,

i do miss that ... just realized ... will try to get it installed tonight.

On the other hand, I got the 0.5 version running and what shall i say... ITS GREAT. THX a LOT! Actually i like ggmud better than zmud. I especially like the window-command which i use to trigger group-communication and channel communications to extra-windows ... this feature is amazing. Finally i don't anymore miss any lines of the communication as i used to from time to time.

Thumbs up!
