Alright, I got abiword installed, and several other things installed, without mydsl. I explain how in a second...
First of all, when I run abiword from command, I get this error:
| Code Sample | | abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
Anyone know what that is and how I can fix it?
Now, for the referrence of those that might read this later (the beauty of forums ;-), this is how I installed what I installed. This process worked great for gtksee, mplayer and gimp.
1. I went to Damn Small Linux Repositories and picked which programs I wanted. If I wanted something, I right clicked and saved it to the hard disk. For example, gimp-1.2.dsl.
2. Then I did this to change from it to a tar archive:
| Code Sample | | $ cp /home/downloads/gimp-1.2.dsl /home/downloads/gimp-1.2.tar.gz |
3. Then I moved it to the root folder and changed to the root directory:
| Code Sample | $ mv /home/downloads/gimp-1.2.tar.gz /gimp-1.2.tar.gz
$ cd / |
4. Then I unpacked/installed the archive:
| Code Sample | | $ tar zxvf /gimp-1.2.tar.gz |
Like I said, it's worked great...I had to move a couple of the icons to the correct folder to get the new ones going, but everything has installed fine.
Well, except running abiword of course ;-) but I don't think that is an installation error, just don't know how to fix it.
Does anyone else know to fix it?
