[kopete] upgrading 0.7.3 to 0.8.0
I'm running SuSE 9, which comes with kopete 0.7.3, and I want to upgrade to kopete 0.8.0. Only I'm really new to linux, and I don't know how. Step by step instructions the average idiot could understand would be greatly appreciated.
download the latest version from http://kopete.kde.org
from the directory at the command prompt:
[code:1]
[seb@localhost tmp]$ tar -zxvf kopete-0.8-tar.gz
[seb@localhost tmp]$ cd kopete-0.8
[seb@localhost tmp]$ configure --prefix=/usr
[seb@localhost tmp]$ make
[seb@localhost tmp]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost tmp]$ make install
[/code:1]
That is the general procedure, but perhaps you could find some suse packages from else where to make it easier.
rpm
There is also a Suse-RPM for Kopete 0.8 at www.kopete.org.
You could download this and click it in your konqueror-file-browser to install it.
