Unable to install avant window navigator in xubuntu 6.10 ./autogen.sh doesn't exist

Asked by Archaeology Student

Hi,

I am new to Xubuntu and was trying to get the AWN to work, by following outlined steps regarding what to do first at this website:http://phorolinux.com/how-to-install-avant-window-navigator-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html

"Install Avant Window Navigator

   1. Install build tools, bazaar and all of the dependencies:
      sudo apt-get install build-essential automake1.9 autotools-dev bzr libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libgnome2-common libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-vfs-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libwnck-common python-gtk2 python-gconf gnome-common python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gnome2-dev
   2. Get the source:
      bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator
   3. Build and install, run the following commands:

      cd avant-window-navigator/
      ./autogen.sh
      make
      sudo make install

Install Avant Window Navigator Applets

   1. Install all of the dependencies:
      sudo apt-get install libgnome-menu-dev librsvg2-dev libgtop2-dev
   2. Get the source:
      bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-extras/awn-extras/trunk awn-extras
   3. Run these commands in the terminal:

      cd awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applets/
      ./autogen.sh
      make
      sudo make install

I followed those instructions, and got stuck. The last step would not work at all for me :(

I then followed these instructions (from https://launchpad.net/awn) :

$ bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator
$ cd avant-window-navigator
$ ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

With the last line I get the following error:

"bash: ./autogen.sh: No Such File or Directory"

So what am I missing or doing incorrectly here? Thank you.

When I go into the terminal, and take a look within the avant-window-navigator directory I see four things:

avant-window-navigator awn-extras Desktop Themes

When I go into the "avant-window-navigator" dir I see awn-extras, and nothing else. When I go in to that directory, I get nothing else. Could I be missing some of the files?

Not a programmer here, but I am willing to learn ;)

Perhaps you should try to install the packages from an unofficial third-party ubuntu repository - see http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=DistributionGuides for details.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Archaeology Student for more information if necessary.
