Title: newbie: can't start this thing
Post by: Guest on October 29, 2003, 07:24:54 PM: Hello,
I'm a new Linux user :D and can't get aMule running on my computer :( . How do I start this thing? Can anybody explain me how to make this thing work? Before you ask, it is already compiled with 0 errors.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my (probably bad) english, I'm Spanish.

If you use RedHat, Mandrake or SuSe, you've to download the aMule RPM file, and, from the console, enter:
Quote
rpm -ivh file.rpm
(where file.rpm is the aMule rpm file -remember insert the caps correctly-).

Else, you've to compile the source. Extract the source code to a folder and, in the console, write ./configure. If you don't got any error, try doing a "make" and "make install" later.

For start aMule, run "amule", from the console or from a icon in your desktop (if you use a desktop like KDE or Gnome). If you cannot share your files, run aMule writing it in the console:
Quote
export LANG=C && export LC_ALL=en_EN && export LANG=en_EN && export LC_MESSAGES=C && amule
If you don't want to write it when you want to run aMule, you can write it in a file and save it in /usr/bin/ (or /bin/) with a name like "amule2". For run it, only write "amule2" in console or from a "run program" menu.

I did what JuBeI said but the shell says that I need a library called libwx_gtk-2.4 but I remenber having installed it before for wxwindows. So what should I do now?
Thanks.

Post by: JuBeI on October 29, 2003, 11:54:12 PM: You need wxWindows-GTK:
RPM: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
or
Source: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.gz

If you install this packages, and the error continues, install it:
wxWindows-GTK devel: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm

I have installed wxwindows but when I try to run amule now it says:
" error while loading shared libraries lib_wxgtk-2.4.so cannot open shared object file " What should I do now? I 'm getting desperate... Should I change something or what?
Thanks.
