Installing gnome-applet Debian

[Brunoz]

Hello!
I'm on Debian 5 equipped with a laptop IBM ThinkPad T42p. This supports hdaps technology that helps stop the reading / writing the hard disk during a sudden movement. In short, I want to install gnome-applet-hdaps but I can not compile. I enter the command as indicated in the file INSTALL.

gcc $ (pkg-config - cflags - libs libpanelapplet-2.0)-o-hdaps gnome-applets gnome-hdaps-applet.c

And I get an error message which installing it. I did run the following command

apt-get install-libpanel applet2

Package libpanel-applet-2.0 was not found 
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpanel-applet-2.0.pc '
No package 'libpanel-applet-2.0' found
However the following packages replace it: *
  libgnome-desktop-2

But I still blocking. What should I do to have good library?

I think you should try installing this. Issue the following command in the terminal as a root user.

apt-get install-libpanel applet2-dev

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

apt-get install-libpanel applet2-dev

It works! I have not touched anything except the packets as installed in the command above. Surely from to restart the machine. For info, is there a way to refresh the libraries without restarting? Finally, I think it is a history library, right? Thank you.

Hello,
Normally, it is not at all necessary to reboot to use a library. You would rather not install libpanel-applet2 initially then libpanel-applet2-dev thereafter? These are not the same! In any case, I think it was a library problem.
Hope this will help you. If you occur from any problem then do post back.

Hi
I can not remember the order but I issued the 3 following commands.
I think the 1st is not essential. For the other 2, the order matter?

apt-get install libgnome-desktop-dev
apt-get install-libpanel applet2
apt-get install-libpanel applet2-dev

In any case, compilation worked but the program itself does not seem to work. Finally it's another story.

Hi
In fact, I believe, only libpanel-applet2-dev is needed. Otherwise, have you installed these 2 packages as well

HDAPS (IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System) utilities
0.1-1.1: amd64 i386
HDAPS daemon for IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads
1:0.0.20070803-2: amd64 i386
