Tellico uses the KSaveFile class, from kdelibs, so in theory, I think should honor umask. But it's out of my hands. I'll try to test further to see if somehow I'm using the library wrong. > [*] note that i also switched to a "all images in the zip" option in > order to be able to import / export my old file, so i don't know what is > the culprit As a side note, you can run File->Export->Zip to make a full archive file, too.

Okay, I have tried everything except eat a bug and I just cannot figure out how to install Tellico 2.0. Right now I have Tellico 1.3.5. I downloaded this file from the Tellico site... tellico-2.0.tar.bz2 I am using Mint 7 "Gloria". Does anyone here know how to install the new Tellico? I have tried finding it in the repositories and tried to install it with the Terminal, all without success, using several commands from searching on the web and installing various packages. I hope there are some experience Mint users here who have figured this out as I am simply dumbfounded on what to do next.%-| Your time and help is appreciated.-- -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tellico-2.0-Installation-not-going-well...-please-help%21-tp25733877p25733877.html Sent from the Tellico mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

My mistake. Well, sort of. The cmake script to find taglig is broken, so if it builds on some systems, it doesn't on on other. And because cmake relies only on the scripts installed on the builder's machine, fixing it means dirty workaround. But I will fix that. Can't really comment on the rest. Regis
Hi I appreciate your time to respond to my request, but this just doesn't seem to be helping. I seem unable to unpack the file at all, although a bunch of stuff goes by very fast in the terminal. I also hear my computer doing some beeping at times when I attempt this. I do not know what all of the required packages would be or how to install them. I also would appreciate it if you could perhaps present each terminal command one line at a time and if you could let me know what response the terminal should give me so I at least know that I am on track. I am basically a real newbie to Linux and installing this has been very challenging. Perhaps you can provide me with more details as to how I should be doing this and what I need before installing Tellico 2.0.

Hi
I appreciate your time to respond to my request, but this just doesn't seem
to be helping. I seem unable to unpack the file at all, although a bunch of

I do not know what all of the required packages would be or how to install
them. I also would appreciate it if you could perhaps present each terminal

OK, no big deal -- let's see if we can figure this out.
The file you download, tellico-2.0.tar.bz2, is a compressed archive of
all the files that make up Tellico. The archive is a "tar" archive (tar
is an acronym for "tape archive" that goes back to when back ups where
done to large reels of 1/2" tape -- you see those being "computers" in
old movies and television shows) and the way it's compressed is with a
utility called "bzip."
Now, when you run the command to unzip, "bunzip2 -c tellico-2.0.tar.bz2
| tar -xvf -" you'll see lots of stuff flying by on the screen (the list
of files in the archive, exactly what's supposed to happen). The files
are being extracted from the archive and put into a directory named

Like the rest of the KDE4 world, Tellico uses cmake now. There is no longer a configure script. To build Tellico in the source directory, within that directory, type cmake . and the period there is important. It says to build the current directory.

After you extract the bz2 file, change into that directory and run this command: cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` It will probably complain about not finding some development libraries. Get to that step and then we might be able to help you go from there... Robby
YES!!! I have indeed successfully installed the new Tellico 2.0. A special thanks to Robby Stephenson for repsonding to my message and give me some guidance! With a couple of hours on the web downloading different packages from the sites linked from the Tellico site, as well as some good advice here from Robby and Thomas Ronayne I was eventually able to successfully install it! I am not a programmer and basically felt like I was groping in the dark, but I did it! I really like Tellico because I have a very large collection of Classical Music and always wanted to catalogue it. Tellico is really a fantastic program for this. For the moment I have only encountered one bug: The Tellico handbook will not open. I get this message. "The file or folder help:/tellico/index.html does not exist." This occurs when the KDE Help Center opens. I hope there is a simple fix for this. Again, I am running Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" and appreciate all the help. Thanks again to Robby and Thomas. I will post any bugs I run into in the "Report Bug" section in Tellico as well.

Hi I have managed to install Tellico, and without using the command you mentioned here. I do have one little bug. The Tellico Handbook does not open in the KDE Help Center. Other than that, it appears to work just fine.
