ok, tried again to download and install tmw 0.15.

Used the new links in the sources to get.

Synaptic sees the new version of 0.15.
but I need to install the latest version of libcurl to get it to install.
I downloaded the latest install of libcurl 7.14. but even after a clean
"./configure" "make" and "make install" my system see's the old verson

curl-config --version show me version 7.12.3.

not the new version.
what do I need to do to make it see the new version.

Please explain in detail.

kubuntu is my distro 5.04.

thanks all

maybe you need to cleanly remove the old version first? or synaptic blocks the updated libcurl version because of some dependency issues?
but how you'd solve that i don't know (i prefer gentoo's portage, and thus i don't know sh!t about synaptic. kinda stabbing in the dark here.)

I downloaded the .deb of libcurl and 2 other dependecies. Then synaptic said I had broken links. So I let it remove over 100 files. Thought it would crash the system but it worked.

Just could not compile libcurl needed a .deb file. They don't always work with kubuntu.

thanks anyway.


Ok well the .deb really messed up the system and just finished re-installing kubuntu.

Downloaded latest version of libcurl3. As TMW needs this now.

I installed it and all but kubuntu does not see it. No errors. How do I tell the system to use the new version and not the old version. If I uninstall the old version 100's of files and programs go with it.

Please help
