Hi all,

I installed heyu on an old computer I just installed Ubuntu with Xfce to, For a new project I'm working on. I have absolutely no clue about anything Linux, anyone know what commands I should run to install this?

I'm kindof an idiot when it comes to linux and installing, if you havent noticed already,

Their page has the source code, if it's the program you're talking about: http://www.heyu.org/download/

The source code needs to be compiled and configured for your machine. Their is a lot of ubuntu pages on this, that explain it much better then I: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html

hope you're comfortable using terminal:
-download it.
-find it via terminal using "cd" (Change directory)
-When in the dir, use the:
-./configure
-"make" commend
-Use "sudo make install" (sudo is "super user"/admin, it'll ask for a password)
-"clean install"

Then it will be installed, and (hopefully) configured to your machine. I run Ubuntu 10.10 with all the studio packages on my personal laptop. Hardly do any compiling myself, as most software I use is .deb and handled with a package manager. Hardly a linux geek.

I get all the way to the ./configure and I get an error. And by make do I just type in "make" or do you mean I should say "sudo make install"

Thanks for the reply!
 
Re: Linux and Heyu

Post the error you get, I bet your just missing some dependencies.

Make does not need the sudo command, make install does: as you're installing. It should also tell you how much space is needed and may ask for a y/n.


Ubuntu is the most stable platform I've used, It does take some time to get used to. Goodluck with it! Any questions you can't get answered here, ask over on ubuntu forums. They've always been more then welcoming and knowledgeable.

Left terminal is proof that build-essential is already installed, and right terminal is it saying "No such file or directory" when I go to run ./configure

I missed that the files you need to compile are tarballs, explained here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html

Unpack them and then run the install commands.

I found out, the command I was using was invalid. I E-mailed the maker of this program and he said, don't use "./configure" use "sh ./configure" and it worked like a charm. thank you for all of this help though, next step, finding a speech recognition program. Haha!
