Thank You

if that package contains gtk-gnutella source code then you have to compile, extract the tar.bz2 package (right click » extract here) read the readme file for install instructions or post the readme file here.
you need to install build-essential package from apt-get/synaptic for compiling programs.

Everytime i install gtk-gnutella it installs 0.96.5 version and not 0.96.6.
I have tried in uninstall 0.96.5. It just keeps coming back.

0.96.5 version is the one you get from ubuntu repositories, to remove it use synaptic package manager, mark for complete removal and click the apply button.
to install 0.96.6 you have to compile has theres no .deb package ready yet, extract the gtk-gnutella-0.96.6.tar.bz2 package, open terminal cd to the gtk-gnutella-0.96.6 folder and follow these instructions from the readme file

To compile gtk-gnutella:

./build.sh
make install

you have to be running a root terminal to install or add sudo to those commads.

This is from my terminal:
"kevin@kevin-desktop:~$ sudo ./build.sh
[sudo] password for kevin:
sudo: ./build.sh: command not found
kevin@kevin-desktop:~$"

I extracted my archive gtk-gnutella-0.96.6.tar.bz2 to the desktop.

Do this first:

sudo apt-get build-essential

Then do this:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

Then the usual:

sudo ./build.sh
make install

[kevincolorado]

This is what happened:
"kevin@kevin-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get build-essential
[sudo] password for kevin:
E: Invalid operation build-essential
kevin@kevin-desktop:~$ apt-get build-essential
E: Invalid operation build-essential
kevin@kevin-desktop:~$"

This is what happened:
"kevin@kevin-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get build-essential
[sudo] password for kevin:
E: Invalid operation build-essential
kevin@kevin-desktop:~$ apt-get build-essential
E: Invalid operation build-essential
kevin@kevin-desktop:~$"

try sudo apt-get install build-essential

and you must cd terminal to the extracted folder not desktop to run sudo ./build.sh

Thank you. This happened after I typed in, "make install"

But I have error now because of permission denied:
"/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/gtk-gnutella': Permission denied
