How do I install DialogBlocks under Linux?
DialogBlocks supports three distribution methods under 32-bit Linux: • Debian package (.deb); • RPM package (.rpm); • Tarball (.tar.gz). Each of these methods will install suitable desktop entries and MIME types, adding a menu entry to the KDE or GNOME menu in the Development or Programming group. DialogBlocks will also be available by typing dialogblocks in a terminal window. The application is normally installed to /usr/share/dialogblocks, and the ‘dialogblocks’ startup script to /usr/bin. Debian packages To install a .deb, you may be able to simply double-click it in the file manager, or right-click over it and select Install DEB File. You will be prompted for a password; on some systems, such as the Eee PC, use the password you gave when setting up the machine. If this doesn’t work, you can use the dpkg command-line tool.
