Hi All,

I've download Xsceeensaver from thier site for the xmatrix screensaver which isnt in my Mandrake 9.1.

But when I ./configure it does all the checks and it says I dont have 'bc' 'A standard part of Unix since the 1970s'

lol, How do I get hold of this, or has my Linux gone weird on me ?

Thanks,

Karl.:confused:

Sounds like you'll need to install 'bc' package. Check your CDs, it could be on one of them.

bc is on the gnu site (http://www.gnu.org) you may need to download the binutils package also (for gas and other programs).

Good luck with getting xscreensaver to work.

I managed to get an mdk rpm of bc and it installed, But it still isnt finding it in the ./configure.
