Solving Zenwalk (based on slackwa) dependencies issue

Hi skunks Am trying to install k3b or brasero on zenwalk but i cannot get the dependecies from the repo online. What could be the issue. Am using Xfce desk top enviroment and is there a cd/dvd burner for this.

Brasero 's dependencies will compile without a problem on Zenwalk .. well at least since Zenwalk4.0 . So it is ok to look for the libs online and compile&&make install them yourself. Zenwalk generally boasts of having almost all the libraries needed for installing common software from source. And if for some reason brasero wont compile because of dependencies, the likelihood of its dependencies having unmet dependencies is even lower - with Zenwalk. A good example for me was compiling apache, php, mysql and installing without encountering compilation errors .. a rare feat for popular distros ! -- Ndungi Kyalo "if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far get company" biblia.kenya.or.ke On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 9:26 AM, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks I managed to install it at last. With that kind of dependency issue such a distro can discourage newbies. I think Ubuntu is truly made for human beings and linux mint is its icing.
