Can't Play Mp3s On Rh9

Linux replacements for Windows progams

Nice links....

Well I'm having more than JUST simple problems with it. Mostly when I'm trying to compile the programs (or at least just ./configure, make, etc.).

Most times it tells me I'm missing libs, and I installed almost EVERYTHING with RH (because I had the same problems before).

Any ideas where I can get libs I need?

Thanks

You've had Linux for all of a day and you're already trying to compile programs.

Download binaries.

No binaries for the programs

I have had experience with Linux before, I'm just a little rusty.

Type ./configure --help

It will give you a list of options to past to configure. Because sometimes you need to tell the program where your lib paths are and other directories, since every system and distro is different. For example, If a program can't find your qt libs do this.

./configure --with-qt-libraries=/opt/qt

Granted your qt libs are in "/opt/qt"

One thing about using *nix is you better know where your programs and everything else is installed on your system or else go back to Windows.

If something ever happens and you need to take action fast your pretty much up shit's creek if you don't know where stuff is.

And how can I know where all the stuff is?

It's called a FILE MANAGER. Kind of like Windows Explorer except it does'nt crash.

Or you can use a terminal. "Browse", and when you see directories like KDE, GNOME, etc. you will know that most of thoose files for that reside there.

Here is a topic by LSA Filesystem Hierarchy

Next you come in Linux Section take a look around before posting please.
