Love the commnuity and look&feel of Linux. I am very disappointed I didn't get into this stuff earlier. Anyways, I'm a tenderfoot and resurrected a pretty old Dell PC so my kids can have thier own computer. I found GCompris and badly want to install it. (I remember playing number muchers!)
Anyways, I followed these instructions:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1280450 And thought I was a super star. No errors, make and make install worked great. But I can't find the app anywhere, AND when just typing "gcompris" it says the app is not installed.
Can anyone give me some HINTS to a noob Linux user? I.e. Is there an app directory I can look in, or did I not install it correctly, or? Also, what is "Launcher" and how will I just add a GCompris icon to the desktop so my kids can easily launch it? (I am quite surpsied this software wasn't in Lubuntu's Software Center)
I'm running the newest version of lubuntu and GComrpsi - I did this all right now. I'm not sure what other info will help.. If I tyupe make now, I get a LOT of
make[5]: Entering directory `/home/nathan/Downloads/gcompris-12.05/src/target-activity/resources/target'
make[5]: Nothing to be done for `all'Which I don't remember seeing the first time...
and when I type make install I get a lot of
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nathan/Downloads/gcompris-12.05/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1Can anyone tell me what might be the trouble?
Thanks in advance!
