I've used to use Mangler on Ubuntu before. Right now I am on openSUSE 11.4 64bit with KDE desktop and I see that there is no package for this version yet. I tried to compile and install Mangler from sources. Have downloaded some dependencies which were needed for ./configure, but I've stuck on package 'xi'. I just can't find it anywere.. Could you help me out with the installation process or at least with finding that package?

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables xi_CFLAGS
and xi_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I found those packages in YaST. configure, make and make install went successfully. The problem is, that i cannot launch Mangler yet. I am getting this error in terminal (tried to launch as superuser too):
mangler: error while loading shared libraries: libventrilo3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks, was on my way to edit the post (found that you need to update runtime linker configuration so the newly installed libraries are seen by system)
Mangler have started! I am going to check out if everything works correctly. One thing that bothers me is that in Settings/Audio/Audio Subsystem, I've only got OSS (my sound server is PulseAudio). I see now that I've missed the PulseAudio dev package. Could read that list before, not only the terminal output. Well. Thank you for your help and time!
Okay, so today I've made another try to get all functions working. I've downloaded all needed dependencies this time (so I've got PulseAudio support and even support for my Logitech G15 LCD screen). Everything works okay and installation went successfully.
This was my second or third attemt to install any software from sources, so I am not experienced in that yet. Do I need to keep the installation folder somewhere on my PC to 'make uninstall' if I want to remove software lately? Or is it safe to delete it?
Thanks again for helping me under this process econell!
