Unable to install QUCS in ubuntu9.10

Asked by Gautam

I am new to linux and i need some help in installing Qucs-0.0.15 on Ubuntu9.10.

These were the instructions given in the Read-me which i followed.

1)I downloaded the file qucs-0.0.15.tar.gz..I extracted it onto the desktop
   and then in the terminal i did the following

 i) I went to the directory of the extracted qucs-0.0.15

 ii) $ ./configure (this step worked fine)

 iii) $ make (here it is not compiling the package)

What should i do?

Hi! there's a far easier way of installing QUCS 0.0.15, go to Aplications->Software center and search for 'qucs'.
If it doesn't appear on the list go to System->Administration->Software Sources and make sure that the repositories are enabled (I believe qucs is in multiverse).

If you still want to compile qucs you'll need to install build-essentials (System->Administration->Synaptic package manager) and some of the qt libraries (sorry but I don't remember which ones).

Hope this helps!
