New to Debian

[rhaadcofboktor]

Just installed Debian on my powerpc mac mini and I'm struggling to find a usable version of mudlet. When I try and run the installer it doesn't do anything. I changed the properties to allow executing file as a program but I can't get it to install. Like I said in the subject line, I am very new to Linux and any help you all could offer would be . . . well . . . helpful.
*Edit*
Also if there is a way to include Mudlet in my Software Sources that would be awesome. I tried

Code: Select all

deb http://enc.com.au/apt/ unstable main

but couldn't get it to work right. Thank you again,

When I try running the files there is indicates the archive type is not supported

It's for an amd64 computer so it won't work on a powerPC mac. The sources are there and can be compiled pretty easily though its a bit daunting if you've not done it before.

I'll see if I can get to a Debian porter box and compile it there too.

They don't have the required packages, so I cannot build it for you.

If anyone is really keen and has the download quota and disk space available it is a matter of

Code: Select all

apt-get install build-essential devscripts
apt-get build-dep mudlet
apt-get source mudlet
cd mudlet-2.0-rc1~20110116
debuild -b
[wait while its built]
cd ..
dpkg -i mudlet_2.0*.deb

That will download a fair bit to make your system able to compile packages, so be warned.

I'll give that a try, thank you for your help.
