You need to be logged in as root (or use sudo), get to a directory where
you can work (like, say, //tmp/) and

    * bunzip2 -c tellico-2.0.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf
      -                             [ uncompress the source code archive
      file
    * cd
      tellico-2.0                                                                    
      [ get into the directory
    * configure *||--enable-final| |--disable-debug       [ run the
      configure utility
      ||*
    * *||make                                         [ build Tellico
      ||*
    * *||make install                                 [ install it
      ||*

The above assumes that you have your distribution's development packages installed.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I appreciate your time to respond to my request, but this just doesn't seem to be helping. I seem unable to unpack the file at all, although a bunch of stuff goes by very fast in the terminal. I also hear my computer doing some beeping at times when I attempt this.

I do not know what all of the required packages would be or how to install them. I also would appreciate it if you could perhaps present each terminal command one line at a time and if you could let me know what response the terminal should give me so I at least know that I am on track.

I am basically a real newbie to Linux and installing this has been very challenging. Perhaps you can provide me with more details as to how I should be doing this and what I need before installing Tellico 2.0. Thanks, Shawn

After you extract the bz2 file, change into that directory and run this
command:

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`

It will probably complain about not finding some development libraries. Get
to that step and then we might be able to help you go from there...

Hi

I have managed to install Tellico, and without using the command you mentioned here. I do have one little bug. The Tellico Handbook does not open in the KDE Help Center. Other than that, it appears to work just fine.

Thanks,
Shawn
