Thanks for ur quick attention.
If i did not misunderstand ur question, I am in need to run my thesis. it is .tex file which contains .bib and other .tex files.

I downloaded the texmaker using the ubuntu center and as I mentioned it was more than 450 mb. is this the editor only, by the way I noticed also some files related to the Texlive was downloaded too.

What should I do next!!??

It is working on my machine.
Ubuntu Release 10.10 (Maverick) 32-bit Desktop
Kernel Linux 2.6.35-28
GNOME 2.32.0

I downloaded the .deb package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/texmakerx/files/texmakerx/TexMakerX%202.1/texmakerx_2.1-1_ubuntu1010_i386.deb/download
it installed straight away, no problems.

Is that what you need?

Yes, Although I did not know most of the versions u have mentioned above, I guess you get my point.

The question is I already installed theTexmaker but I was not able to use it.
If you have any information related to this, I am thankful.

Thanks million sir for your concern, and I will use images in describing my case.
Firstly I have both Texmaker and the one you gave me texmakerX. The first one (texmaker) will using it it opens the application as shown in the first image while texmakerx did not do any action. So my images are built on the texmaker only.

texmaker generates error as shown in the second image because of ???? while clicking on Quick build.

When I turned to the configuration menu , as shown in the third image, I do not know how to modify it as requested in many texmaker tutorials.

please note that I might not know any more information so if u understand the probem just tell me what is on??
