Eureka!

Heya folks!

In the past I had problems installing the new and improved 1.0 version of Bluefish (web-dev application for Debian-based Linux) in Linspire. However, I came across a helpful post on the Linspire forums that really helped me out:

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the URL paths.
2. Open a console window and enter super-user mode (su -> ENTER -> admin password).
3. Type the following: “apt-get install bluefish”.
4. Apt-Get will now download the latest version of Bluefish, including any missing dependencies, and install everything.
5. To run Bluefish, navigate: L -> Run Programs -> Software Development -> Bluefish Editor.

During this installation I did indeed see some warnings pop up, however, everything seemed to work fine. My guess is that those were configuration settings that the apt-get package was expecting, but don’t exist in Linspire.

Happy coding!
