**betterthanjordan79** · August 26th, 2009

could anyone please point me in the direction to install ProjectM on Ubuntu 9.04 32bit. i have tried a few methods but i have recieved errors and have not successfully installed it.

Thanks in advanced - betterthanjordan79

This page says it is in the repositories since Hardy (8.04).

You should be able to just hit the terminal with:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libvisual-projectm

If you want to go the compile and install route, see here.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe 'libvisual-projectm' is what you are looking for. You can install it by clicking here or running sudo apt-get install libvisual-projectm. Have fun!

thanks for ur reply but i should have specified that i would like it to work through totem media player which it doesn't through this.

**Darkwing-Duck** · August 26th, 2009

What method(s) have you tried for the install? Also, what is the output from the install? This will help us help you!

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=749793

got as far as

make && sudo make install

then this happens

Looks like you need to install libfreetype6-dev

Code:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev

try it again... it will error out on the next dependency if there is one. post the output, if needed.

here's a tip... when compiling software it is often only the first error that matters. In the case of your output,

/usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory

is sufficient. Just look for the first line that indicates an error (but still be sure to include everything before it!)

Did you install ftgl-dev and libfreetype6-dev? Looks like the error is from Freetype...
