I've been using argyllcms under Fedora Linux 7, and I recently upgraded
to Fedora 9. I've found in the past that it is better to do a fresh
install rather than upgrading the existing system, and that is what I
did for Fedora 9. Of course, that means I had to reinstall all the
extras, including argyllcms. I was pleasantly surprised to find that
argyllcms is now available as a Fedora package, and that simplified
things enormously.
In addition, I now have a Dell laptop which came with Ubuntu 8.04
installed. Unfortunately, I am not as familiar with Ubuntu (Debian) as
I am with RedHat derivatives such as Fedora. In particular, I am
struggling to understand package management under ubuntu. There is an
application called add/remove programs, but the genral consensus seems
to be that it is useless and that I should use the synaptic package
manager instead. A web search seems to show there is an ubuntu package
for argyllcms, but I can't find it by searching with the synaptic
manager. Can anyone tell me just what to do to get that argyllcms
package and then install it in a relatively transparent manner?
