Ubuntu Sverige

I am trying to install a program from here http://www.thezeal.com/software/index.p ... Manager_Ex
but i am computer illiterate and I am not getting anywhere can someone help maybe with a, do this, now do this, now do this kind of thing. I quite like this linux thing but for a numskull like me it has a bit of a learning curve.

the webisite says this
[Since MMEX depends on libwxgtk 2.8.0 deb package, you need to
add deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main to your apt-get sources list. For more details refer to the wxWidgets site. Note that the dapper repository will work for Dapper and Edgy.]

This should work;

http://sourceforge.net/project/download ... irror=mesh

Download it and use it like an .exe-file.

Double click on it and install.

When it is finish it should pop-up somewhere under Program!

If that dont work do this;

Howto add deb files in source list;

In a terminal type; sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Followd by your password, the password will not been showd on the screen, but it will get typed, belive me!

then paste on an empty line;
deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main ( or edgy insted of dapper if you are using edgy)

save it  and exit.

Fire up a new terminal and type;

sudo wget http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc | apt-key add -

then type;

sudo apt-get update

then; apt-cache search --names-only wx\*2.8

when you finde the right packed type;

sudo apt-get install <the name of the right package here>

then done!

wow thanks that was fast, I will give it a go.

I get this error Dependency is not available. : libwxgtk2.8-0

I had that to!

do this;

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0

then try again!

now i get this
E: Couldn't find package libwxgtk2.8-0
so I downloaded wxGTK-2.8.3.tar.gz but i am not sure what to do with it, I tried make make install but it didn't work

Probably you don't want to compile the program by yourself (using the .tar.gz-file), and rather use the pre-compiled binary-package, and since there are .deb-files for Ubuntu, use them instead

Have you tried to Reload the Repositories before you try to install the package?

You do this by typing sudo apt-get update in the terminal. If the new repository has been properly added to your sources.list, the package should be visible and installable by apt-get and/or Synaptic.


That means: if the line

deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main

is in your /etc/apt/sources.list, and the command

sudo wget http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc | apt-key add -

has been executed, the package should be installable. (Note: you should put dapper in the sources.list, even if you are using Edgy. If your sources.list contain edgy on that single line, replace it with dapper).
