Great video, but could anyone tell, why when I enter cd /home/andy/bibus-0.8.0 says there is no such directory, and there is definitely such folder. How to overcome this issue. Many thanks

@andriusj7 maybe case sensitive, try using tab to auto complete

It says it does not have an ''acceptable C complier''. I'm trying to install Pidgin on Xandros

[gotbletu]

@Ograws the only c compiler i know on linux is called gcc, for c++ is called g++

[KeenKro]

What do you do if you get an error for having a different version of the required library? e.g. it errors saying cannot compile without libpng when you have libpng12-0.

[gotbletu]

@KeenKro gotta install or compile that 1st then

[hiprockdud]

downloaded thunderbird-8.0.tar.bz2 file. Did all the extracting and cd into the right folder, but ./configure says no bash directory. Same problem with make and other commands. There is no install or readme file and google was'nt much of a help either. Any suggestions? Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

@gotbletu ok i feel pidgin won't work on Xandros anyway
