Instead of making "sudo make install", you should build a .deb file using checkinstall. It's the easiest way to build a package. Just do "sudo apt-get install checkinstall" before anything else and replace "sudo make install" with "sudo checkinstall". That way it's easy to remove a program, you don't need make clean.

Please write HOWTOs to use checkinstall instead of make install! Mods, edit when needed!

For creating packages with dependencies, you should check http://www.us.debian.org/devel/

Cheers, worked nicely apart from I had to install an XML parsing module for Perl.

Me too,

for newbies;

type

Code:

cpan

then

Code:

install XML::Parser

then

Code:

exit

then try ./configure again.

OR - do the checkinstall thing, that stuff is quality - I wish I'd remembered to do it BEFORE I compiled it the normal way.

Anyway, great HOWTO - perhaps someone can see about getting this included in Dapper??

I used the checkinstall to build a .deb package, and uploaded it to my server. I'm not vouching for it, but here's the deb package for gnome-scheduler (updated URL).

It's now in the repositories for 7.04.

Where is the "default UNIX mailbox" where all the outputs are sent? Can I change this? ideally I would like outputs to come to my home folder as log files (if possible).
