Installing Inq

**dryder** · May 18th, 2013

Thanks! apt-file is a useful tool.

It did 'make' successfully.

I'm stuck on the last two commands:

Code:

$ su -c "make install"
Parola d'ordine: <tua password>

su - is it really a good idea to create a su password for this or even log in as su to do it? There must be a reason for su but, well, I'm only installing a package - a common occurrence.

Parola d'ordine: <tua password> - I haven't got there yet but it looks like trouble!

For Ubuntu, you would usually do

Code:

sudo make install

instead - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

steeldriver and pdc

Thanks!

It is installed and working.

I am particularly grateful for your, patience, help and explanations, enabling me to learn.

I hope the community see this post.

'Thanks' seems inadequate - but it is very sincere.

thanks David; glad it is all working for you; I have greatly appreciated the expert input of steeldriver; very valuable;

till now I have used ink as CLI but ..having never heard of inq.... I also have now installed it!

it would seem the full list of packages needed would be

sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev build-essential libqt4-dev qt4-qmake libinklevel-dev

......if anyone else searches this post and looks for what to do:
