Linux and Amikit

[oceancrafts]

So, I've purchased AmigaForever from Cloanto. A great product imo. I want to install amikit on my ubuntu based laptop. Trouble is I'm a Linux dummy. Apparantly the installer requires Xdialog which is not available through the ubuntu software installer. I downloaded Xdialog from its site, but moving the files to their proper location isn't allowed I guess. I tried to do it using text commands with sudo, but that wouldn't work either. But then I don't know if I did it correctly. Could someone please teach me how to get it to work?

Try this.

It won't work. sh can't open the file apparently.

Good thing I don't give up easily. Ubuntu does indeed give you access to otherwise restricted actions through its root-terminal. I managed to copy Xdialog and it reports a missing library: libgtk-1.2.so.0. That doesn't appear to be easily installable through the software center either. Jeez.

Any version of libgtk will do, you can also symlink a newer version to it, ln -s /usr/lib/libgtk-1.x.x.so /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.0.sh

apt-cache search lbgtk
apt-get install libgtk-x-x-x

Linux is hard, man... I should reinstall Vista.... Nope. Never!:furious:

Words of wisdom, zen out before install

Aum... Aum...
