xscreensaver clock

[ully-mick]

I don't use screensavers apart from a blank screen, but if I had a clock one then that would be useful. So after a lot of searching I found a round screensaver clock, but it's for xscreensaver. so I've removed gnome-screensaver with "ubuntu software centre" and added xscreensaver the same way. I've got the file from :-
http://www.d8.dion.ne.jp/~pt2k/softw...k/index_e.html
but the install instructions on that page seem to be for a different distro.
could someone check this is compatible and show me the exact command to install it. I don't want to make a mess of it.

thank.

ah right brilliant. so I've removed xscreensaver and installed gnome-screensaver again. erm, how do I install it please.

Firstly, I'm no compiling expert and don"t know what packages are included in the default Maverick install
because I've just used a couple of scripts which
download, compile and install automatically.

Try this

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc

Now extract the folder gnome-clock-screensaver-1.0.1 from the
gnome-clock-screensaver-1.0.1.tar.gz file you downloaded
and place in your home directory.

Open the terminal and enter(change if your folder has different name)

cd ~/gnome-clock-screensaver-1.0.1

Then enter

make

sudo make install

and hopefully there's no errors.
