enter that in your console in the appropriate directory:

make

sudo make install

if you do not have sudo installed/working, just become root via su and enter the following:

make install

when i type in the first command you wrote it comes up with

bash: make: command not found

and it says the same for the second. any advice?

Posted

yeah its saying the same thing but instead of make its saying that gmake command not found. im using the terminal that came with Ubuntu, IDK if that would have anything to do with it. Do i need to reinstall or dl another terminal or something like that?

Posted

yeah thats what i did. and then i get

Warning: Prerequisite Test:: Manifest 0.9 not found

Warning: Prerequisite Test:: XML::Parser 2.23 not found.

Writing Makefile for XML-RSS

then another file called makefile shows up in the directory. it doesnt have any shown file extention. and idk what to do now.

You seriously need to install perl 5 manifest and xml parser first, which distro are you running?
