Hi all, I know i have asked this before (and had the answer), but as the cpc forums now seem inaccessable could someone please run me through how to setup FaHMon 2.3.99.1 on Xubuntu 9.04 Doc, anyone? Cheers.
Yep, that seems to be a big downside of closing off the other Forum - you can't direct people to key threads .... I have tried to get FahMon 2.3.99 going on Ubunbtu (8.04), but wasn't having much success - Unc fungus is your man, and he's around on this new forum .....
This assumes you've already extracted the source archive, an you know where you extracted it to Make sure you have all the necessary software to compile and run FahMon Code: sudo apt-get install g++ libwxgtk2.8-dev libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev Change into the FahMon source package directory Configure the sources for installation and compilation Code: ./configure Compile the sources. If you want to speed up compilation, add -j $CPU to the end of the next command, where $CPU is your CPU count + 1. (i.e. on a dual core machine use -j 3) Code: make Install FahMon Code: sudo make install Incidentally there is a detailed guide for how to do this included with the FahMon sources. Look in doc/help/User_Guide.pdf Page 5 details the installation process for Linux.
Thanks Thanks for that Uncle_Fungus. I have got it running fine on one VM machine , but in another when i double-click the FaHMon icon nothing happens. There is a short pause were the cursor disappears (as if it is trying to execute the program) and then the cursor comes back. The getting and install command has worked fine as when i run it again it does need to download any packages and says they are all up-to-date. And the ./configure, make, and sudo make install commands also seem to have run through fine. Any clues as to what could be happening, i really do not have the foggyest when it comes to Linux.
Open a terminal again, and run Code: sudo ldconfig For some reason the installer doesn't run this correctly on certain machines. It updates the library cache so that FahMon can find libwxcurl (installed as part of FahMon).
