gNapster Won't install

[shill88]

I'm running Mandrake 7.2 if it helps. When I run the gNapster RPM file i get a message saying Permission Denied what is that about I've tried in both root and in my normal account. PLZ help.

Linux is pretty cool if you can learn how to use it.

Try download a source(tarball) and compile it. It's not hard, trust me http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
Before that try this, chmod a+rw <name> and retry. If that still doesn't work, download the source and compile http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/tongue.gif

Ok i did what you said to do no error happened but nothing else happened eithier. So did the RPM run in the background or what? If so where can i find the progie? If not where do i start with the source? Really lost but that is a good thing because I'm also really bored and this gives me somthing to do!

Have you tried looking at its webpage, http://jasta.gotlinux.org/gnapster.html?

what command are you typing at the console?

I had some trouble because i thought the command was gnapster but it is actually gnome-napster

gnapster and gnome-napster are different programs.

The main purpose of programs like Napster is to make it easy of you (the user) to steal music...

STEALING IS ILLEGAL..

I have personally never meet an honest user of napster, if you are the first.. then I'm sorry.. but Napster pisses me off...

[fod]

i just realised that.. sorry. gnapster is better than gnome napstrer

LoveChild -

_Some_ of us go on to get songs to see if a new cd buy an artist or group is worth buying or not. Personally I don't want to go out to buy a cd just for one song, so I take the time to go download the cd that I want, see if I like all/most of the music, and if I do, I go buy the cd and support the artist(s)/group(s).

I think most, if not _all_ of us know that stealing is illegal, why yell it at us, just say "I have a beef with napster users, because they get music easily and for free", and then you have to think about it, before napster anyone that wanted music would go find ftp servers where there was a whole lot of mp3's go upload a few mb's and download to their hearts content, it isn't any different, just a little more difficult.

Anyways, this should be in off-topic, so I'll end my little rant here.

Knapster is my favorite Napster client. http://sourceforge.net/projects/knapster/ http://knapster.netpedia.net/

And to let artists like myself distribute their own music without having to get some sort of record deal.

First off, I own all the ****ing MP3's I download, why should I have to encode them when I can download them faster? Shut the hell up..

Second off - Gnapster will not launch in Drake 7.2, I have the same problem, I compiled from source fine, but when you execute it just pops up and goes away. To lazy to trouble shoot it, but it is a known issue (well atleast I have known it since I sinstalled 7.2)
