   Hi:
   There are few programs I can't find on Slitaz...like mp3gain, clementine, gejengel...etc.
   What´s the way to install those programs?
   It's my first day and i can't find any good documentation on the web.
   I don't know what libraries i have to install, the terminal comands etc.
   Thanks a lot.

   If packages are not (yet) available on Slitaz, you MUST go to web page of the application and follow the instructions there.

   For gejengel, download the source from:
   http://gejengel.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/web/download.html

   Then extract it using "tar" command.
   Then read the Readme file usually supplied with the source.
   And finally follow the instructions.

   Note1: you may first need to install a few tools allowing you to extract, compile...
   If you have never done it before, it might seem heavy. But try it, ask questions and you will do it. It really worth it.

   Note2: you could even learn how to make packages available for Slitaz using "receipt". Then other slitaz users will be happy using them. More info here: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:cookbook:start

   Happy Slitaz.

   You can also attempt to convert over a debian package of the program using the tazpkg convert command. This however isn't guaranteed like compiling and you'll still have to work out missing dependacies and if they don't exist within SliTaz, you'll have to convert them too.

   With some packages this is pretty quick and only requires few extra converted requirements. Some work without needing to convert anything else. But you will get a few that require half of GNOME or KDE to work or have impossible requirements that can never be met.

   So whichever route you take, Good Luck :)

   Hi:
   Thanks for the anwsers.
   I have been trying to compile gejengel ( it doesn´t have many dependences and i found all on slitaz )
   With the classic ./ configure , make etc it's not workingh.
   So i was reading the links you told me about and some information on how to compile programs on slitaz...but I am lost.
   My english is not so good.
   Could you please tell the comands to do it?
   There is a manual in spanish?
   I found some information at my language but not everything.
   Thanks a lot.

   It's probably installing to /usr/share/bin, which doesn't work or exist within SliTaz. So to avoid that just use --prefix=/usr with ./configure like this:
   ./configure --prefix-/usr

   You may have to switch to root to use the make install command to install the program. You can switch to root using the su command (just enter your root password when asked for it).

   I did it.
   I am t the folder like root.
   this is the line i got wit clementine:

   pepe@pub:~/Downloads/clementine-0.7.1$ su
   Password:
   root@pub:~# ./ configure
   sh: ./: Permission denied

   with gejengel:
   pepe@pub:~/gejengel-0.1.3$ su
   Password:
   root@pub:~# ./ configure --prefix-/usr
   sh: ./: Permission denied

   I am the owner's folder and the files inside.

   thanks

   It looks like you have an extra space. It should be:
   #./configure

   And I am not mistaken, you typed (which is wrong):
   #./ configure

   Hi again:
   I did it with ./ configure , ./configure and ./configure --prefix-/usr.
   I think it's a problem with the /bin/sh file.
   Even like root i get the same error:

   sh: ./: Permission denied

   pepe@pub:~$ ls -l /bin/sh
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 19 23:35 /bin/sh -> busybox.
