I’m trying to install Bluefish (html editor) but am running into a problem. Compiling from source (it isn’t in the repos, sigh) I get a configure error that it can’t find libpcre.pc (libpcre-dev). Using Yast2, I’ve searched for libpcre, libpcre.pc, libpcre-dev without results.
checking for pcre-config... no
configure: error: pcre-config/libpcre.pc not found. Install libpcre3-dev or similar.
laptop:/temp/bluefish-unstable-1.3.8 #
This has occurred in both bluefish 1.3.8 and 2.0.0.rc1.
My repos are the oss, non-oss, packman, suse-community, update, debug, kde-core, and kde-community). Also source, install-media, and videolan which are disabled.
Searching the forums, I find several references to Bluefish, but nothing about problems installing it.
Going back to my original post, I see I didn’t explain what I’m trying to do.
I use Firefox on several computers, both linux and winblows. I want to be able to copy “parts” of the bookmark file between systems without overwriting the existing bookmarks. I could copy the URLs into an email and then retreive it on the other machines, but I don’t have email accounts on all machines. Besides that, I’m lazy, there has to be a simple way.
The problem there is when importing to another computer, it overwrites the existing bookmark file, at least that’s what happened when I tried it earlier.
One computer is multiboot, the others either linux only or winblows only. They are not on the same network at the same time (wifes demand, sigh).
Hi
I munged your email (here and on the web), unless you like spam…
If your multi booting you can share the bookmarks via a common mozilla
folder, if it’s ext3, you can run the windows driver.
Else you could just use the bookmark.html file and open that with
firefox, no need to import. So you could have muliple files don’t need
to be called bookmark, just opened with firefox as a straight html file.

That build service is pretty neat as well. I notice it will build for
several other label out of date distributions but not for Suse out of
date versions. That is kind of strange.

it is almost like Novell (who ‘supports’ the build service want to
push us out of old versions…but, doesn’t care if folks stay in
Fedora ~5.x forever…
hmmmm, i guess if i was worried about my bottom line i would want as
many folks as possible struggling to squash my bugs, and wouldn’t
really care if Red Hat never found theirs…
