This is my mini-guide on how I got this working. My setup is a single machine, using Linux Mint 19 in a VMWare Workstation Player running ShowEQ 6.2.5. Make sure that when you add the Network Adapter you set it to bridged, not NAT.

I like to work from my Desktop (just habit) and I always create a fresh folder for showEQ there:

Code:
cd Desktop
mkdir seq
I installed the following, and only the following packages:

Code:
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install libpcap0.8-dev
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt install libqt4-dev
sudo apt install libtool
sudo apt install libx11-dev
sudo apt install libxext-dev
sudo apt install libpng-dev
sudo apt install libice-dev
SVN wasn't working for me properly, so I just downloaded the tarball with wget:

Code:
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/seq/files/ShowEQ/Showeq-6.2.5/showeq-6.2.5.tar.bz2
Extract the tarball:

Code:
tar -xvf showeq-6.2.5.tar.bz2
Go into the showeq directory:

Code:
cd showeq-6.2.5
Configure

Code:
sudo ./configure
Make

Code:
sudo make
Make install

Code:
sudo make install
Provide ownership of the /usr/local/share/showeq folder. Put in your username where it says <username> without the brackets:

Code:
sudo chown -R <username>:<username> /usr/local/share/showeq
Run the following command to see what the name of your NIC is. In my case it was 'ens33'

Code:
ifconfig
Running showEQ:

Code:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ./showeq -i ens33
Hopefully this guide can help some Linux amateurs (such as myself) get ShowEQ running!
