running giFT

[TweakerFD]

*** ERROR: Your setup is incomplete ***

You will need to run giFT-setup and be sure that you read absolutely
every configuration option (no, really). If you are unable to complete
giFT-setup, you may optionally copy the contents of the etc/ directory
with the distribution to /home/abhijeet/.giFT/.


even after completing the setup i get this message. What am i doing wrong? oh btw i'm a Linux newbie.


If you are still having problems you should consult the QUICKSTART guide
available from the standard giFT distribution.

Another thing. when i try to install apollon; during the make process it gives me this error.

".deps/giftconnection.Tpo" \
-c -o giftconnection.o `test -f 'giftconnection.cpp' || echo './'`giftconnection.cpp; \
then mv ".deps/giftconnection.Tpo" ".deps/giftconnection.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/giftconnection.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

its apollon...its a client that run on giFT.

[Scott_Tiger]

I'll have to say that while I haven't used the client that you're refering to you really should check out the clients listed in this thread:

http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewt...highlight=gift

The giftToxic client is really pretty but it was also pretty unstable (to the point of unusable) when I used it last. Now the giFTcurs is a really good client and I recommend it highty. giFTcurs is a really, really cool looking client and I'v have really good luck with it. The trick to getting the clients to work is to get the giFT protocol to work first and that requires running gift-setup first. It looks like you've done that part already so you should be set. If you follow the directions at the link I posted above you should be d/l'ing in no time.

Hope that helps!
