Set up questions - SuSE 9.x

[nicks]

Have most recent updates for SuSE, trying to get SEQ to run on it. I have been unable to utilize the cvs command, and given up on installing that. Instead I have downloaded the file "showeq-5.0.0.22.tar.bz2". Not sure if I need to download the others, the FAQ doesn't cover that much. I found you have a guide for Fedora on the alternative-to-cvs guide, but after trying 4 different linux packages "Red Hate 9, Gentoo, Mepis, and 1 other that is escaping me" I finally found one that seems to work well with my system. I am running an alienware laptop, p4 gig of ram yada, yada, yada... Anyways I have followed the home SEQ home page instructions with no luck. Anyone that could lend a hand to a linux n00b would be greatly appreciated. Here's the code from start to finish:

linux:~ # cd /seq
linux:/seq # ls
. .. showeq-5.0.0.22 showeq-5.0.0.22.tar.bz2
linux:/seq # tar xjvf showeq-5.0.0.22.tar.bz2

Also, should I be downloading all the files or what? Thanks again guys, bravo zulu on this fine project.

Try "LIBC=gnu ./configure" instead. I'm still looking for what I do wrong that causes this so I can fix it if anyone can help.

You haven't installed gcc methinks. That might explain the first error too!

[nicks]

Hmm, I thought it may be something similar to that until I read this:

Because these are the most recent versions of the Gcc compiler and the Qt libraries. The new versions include performance enhancements and support features that have been recently added to ShowEQ. This shouldn't be a problem, as most any modern Linux distribution will come with these versions already installed.

...but to check I came up with this:

linux:/seq/showeq-5.0.0.22 # gcc
bash: gcc: command not found

Sooo off I go to establish gcc, thanks so much for your help purple. =)

1) Make your own thread, don't hijack someone else's
2) Look at config.log to see what is actually being run I'd guess your binutils install is messed up and nm is segfaulting for some reason

[nicks]

I been surfing the web for SuSE gcc support, they said to install through YaST, and according to YaST I have gcc.

[purple]

If typing gcc --version doesn't have gcc tell you what version you have, then you don't have gcc. I got no idea how Suse works. But maybe there's a devel disk or something you didn't install.

[LordCrush]

You need to install the Dev-Stuff for SUSE 9.x - What setup Type have you choosen ?

There is one for an "Office Workstation" that don't include any Dev-Tools

And you need to install the libpcap.
