gnome panel installing problem

[vicke4]

I downloaded gnome panel 2.32 in icewalker site.it is a tar.bz package.please tell me how to install it in my Linux mint 10?

If it's not a .deb you are about to compile from source. In my experience gnome stuff compiles just fine.
If you dare to peek inside the file you got there you will find some information as to how to go about with it.

The chain of commands to follow (this was before gnome3) should look something like:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-panel

To set up the computer for the task and then navigate to the sourcefile and just:

Code: Select all

./configure
make 
sudo make install

as usual...
