    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

        when i run
        “scons release=1 PREFIX=/usr/local”
        it does find everything else… just not the OpenSSL library

        if you get the error message about crypto library try to reinstall the packages with sudo apt-get install cvs scons build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libglitz1-dev libssl-dev. that should work,then go on with the instalation
