23:45.48 jessi I feel foolish, and need help installing brlcad on linux :'(
23:46.08 dtidrow_work should be a piece of cake
23:47.07 jessi Well, I dont know were to CD to. :/
23:47.16 Maloeran ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install ?
23:47.30 jessi just type that in without cding anything?
23:47.51 Maloeran Type that from the brlcad-something directly after unpacking the archive
23:47.57 dtidrow_work I take it you untarred the tarball already?
23:48.06 jessi Yes
23:48.26 Maloeran Then type that from the newly created brlcad-* directory
23:48.28 dtidrow_work eg. 'tar xvjf brlcad-7.8.2.tar.bz2' - will create a 'brlcad-7.8.2 directory
23:49.17 dtidrow_work so just cd into that, and run './configure'
23:49.42 dtidrow_work then 'make' once cinfigure is finished
23:49.56 dtidrow_work configure (damn fingers....)
23:51.24 Maloeran Some distributions don't put /usr/local stuff in default paths, hence why I suggested --prefix
23:52.03 dtidrow_work ah - ./configure worked fine for me on FC4 :-)
23:52.26 jessi I am on ubuntu :/
23:52.53 Maloeran Ouch, ouch. I think you'll have serious problems compiling anything without installing dozens of "developper" package
23:53.04 dtidrow_work haven't had a chance to work with it yet, though I may stick it on my work laptop soon
23:53.05 jessi I installed those
23:53.34 jessi I would rather be using BSD, but I have a ton of files and dont want to lose them.
23:53.44 jessi and too many to conventionally save onto disks
23:55.15 jessi Oh, I have been tricked. D:
23:55.34 jessi I had to extract one file, then another from that file to get some of the make stuff.
23:59.07 jessi Thanks a ton. <3
