Installing LinuxDC++ in Ubuntu
Installing prerequisites
sudo apt-get install cvs scons build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libglitz1-dev
After finishing the installation you need to download LinuxDC++ from their anonymously CVS.This program is currently only
avaliable through cvs.Currently my working directory is /usr/local/src.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp login
This will prompt for password
(leave password blank)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp
If you want to download from CVS web check here http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linuxdcpp
Install LinuxDC++
Once you download the software from CVS you should be having linuxdcpp directory and now you need to enter in to the
directory using the following command.
cd linuxdcpp
scons release=1 PREFIX=/usr/local (You can choose this option)
This will starts the compilation checks and other linuxdcpp related.
Now you need to install using the following command
sudo scons install
This will finish the installation
Now if you want to run linuxdcpp just enter the following command
linuxdcpp
Now you should see the following screen
Public hub screen looks like below.

I’m new to linux so this is probably something really simple, but when i run
“sudo scons install”
this happens
“scons: Reading SConscript files …
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets …
scons: *** Source `linuxdcpp’ not found, needed by target `/usr/local/bin/linuxdcpp’. Stop.
scons: building terminated because of errors.”
i don’t know if it has anything to do with this, but when i run
“scons release=1 PREFIX=/usr/local”
this happens
“Checking for main() in C library ssl… no
OpenSSL library (libssl) not found
Note: You might have the lib but not the headers”
i would appreciate any help you could give me. thanks
