newbie: can't start this thing
« 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.

Hi kakapo!

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.
