* Bugfixes:

o Darwin Makefile: add HAVE_GETADDRINFO=1
o Don Bostrom patch: when remote mail checking, handle select() EINTR.
o Charles Bailey patches:
1) darwin.c and Makefile tweaks for building on OS X 10.3.8.
2) darwin.c prevent left bit sign extension when shifting memory
monitor data.
o Don't read disabled sensors in the sensors thread.
* Translation updates
o fr.po from Jerome UZEL

I'd really like this for the IBM-ACPI support (I'm on a thinkpad).

Thanks,
Joe

Hi,

I so wanted too the latest gkrellm!
Then I tried to install it from source and it worked :)

How to (this is the way I did it):

- Install gkrellm 2.2.4 from synaptic (should be already done ;))
- Quit gkrellm
- Uninstall all gkrellm related packages (from synaptic packages manager, it's easy)

- Download the latest sources file here (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gkrellm/gkrellm-2.2.7.tar.bz2) (from the gkrellm web site)

- Un-tar the file
- Move the new folder to /usr/local/src (sudo)
- Go to /usr/local/src/gkrellm-2.2.7/ in the terminal
- Type "make" (any error message displayed in my case!)
- Type "sudo make install INSTALLROOT=/usr"

- Finally, type "gkrellm &" in a terminal to launch gkrellm 2.2.7

That's all ;-)

I don't know if it will do the trick for you but that did it for me!

Personnaly, I wanted a version > 2.2.4 for the latest ethernet statistics module (with month per month informations and not only the currently month) and it's now ok :)

-- sorry for my crappy english, not so easy to compile ;)

it won't be updated for breezy so there will be no backport of 2.2.7 until breezy is released... sorry :(

This is why I explained how to install the latest version ;)
Anyway thank you very much for the great work of the backport team :)

Heh, just for this kind of situation where some people would like to have a newest version not available in breezy, could you show us how to build a .deb package from sources or point to a nice HOWTO ?

Thanks alot :D

use checkinstall

./configure
make
sudo checkinstall

This will build a deb and install the package

use checkinstall

./configure
make
sudo checkinstall

This will build a deb and install the package

If I use checkinstall and not make install that means that I can share the .deb file with other users? And what about linked/missed libraries (needed during the compilation)? Also what about necessary external applications?

Tx, that can help the geeks we are :)
