Howto: Install RKWard ver. 0.4.7a on Ubuntu Feisty (7.04)

[akniss]

I've seen some folks having trouble getting RKWard to work on Ubuntu Feisty. I decided to see if I could get it working on my machine, and was able to get it up and running. I thought I'd post how I did it in case it might help someone else.

First of all, the RKWard package in the Ubuntu repos is broken, and a simple apt-get install rkward did not give me a functional package. Here's what I did to get it woking.

• Download version 0.4.7a (rkward-0.4.7a.tar.gz) from:
  Sourceforge.net
• Obtain the required packages for RKWard to compile:
  

  sudo apt-get build-dep rkward

• Extract the .tar.gz and change into the rkward-0.4.7a directory
• Enter the following commands:
  

  sudo ./configure
  sudo make
  sudo make install

• Start RKWard by entering

  rkward

  at a terminal, or hitting Alt+F2 and entering rkward.
