FSV (3D File Navigator)?

[suffer1989]

Anyone remember Jurassic park ? Remember that cool unix file browser ?

anyways, there appears the be a program :

http://fsv.sourceforge.net/

that simulates the effect. Basically, its a 3d file navigator.

Anyways: here is th download page :

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=31220

Im wondering if it will run on ubuntu 8.10. I cant install it yself, as im a recent PC convert, and the only thing i do know how to instal is by using DEB files...



Sooo, if it does work, how does one go about installing, and running it ?

Have a look here for some other 3D interfaces :-

This is very old. I tried compiling it, but it requires an older version of gtk.

Its not the same thing, but if you want something different, have a look at eagle mode file manager:-

you can install fsv in intrepid and it works. It's not worth the trouble (not somuch trouble though). Eaglemode is better.

I've attempted to compile the older GTK packages - but they depend on Pango, and I can't even figure out which Pango packages I need.

So far, I've probably spent 4 hours on exploring dependencies, and I'm about to give up, unless I stumble over an easy how-to.

Yeeeah,the latest version of FSV it's fully working on Lucid Lynx
after installing these:
libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18.1_all.deb
libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1_i386.deb
libgtk1.2-dev_1.2.10-18.1_i386.deb
libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19_i386.deb

When I type sudo apt-get install in the terminal, i get this.

Reading package lists... Done

E: Couldn't find package libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18.1_all.deb

I'm also running 64 bit, so I'm assuming those files with "i386" are not gonna run for me.

Don't use apt-get. Download these packages from internet (I used some debian site but i don't remmember URL [I think it was http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages] but i can upload them if you want [i386]) and install with dpkg -i. I don't know if is this working on 64bit systems but i think it can if you will install libraries for 64 architecture.
