    Has anyone had any luck putting Launchy on their aspireone?

    http://launchy.net/

    I tried unzipping, i sudo yum'd make and gcc, and followed the zip / make install instructions i've seen on the web for fedora. I get a g++: Command not found error after running make install. I also get that if i just type in g++. gcc appears to be installed though. yum wont reinstall it. Is there a different gcc for the atom processor?

    any ideas?

    There appears to be a separate package for g++. And you'll need boost too

    sudo yum install gcc-c++
    sudo yum install boost-devel.i386

    after that its just :
    sudo make
    sudo make install

    run program - launchy.

    i'll post back again once i figure out how to get it on boot.

    This is exactly what I've been looking for. Could someone be so kind to write a more beginner friendly instruction on how to install this? I would really apprichiate it!

    To get launchy to start at boot, just use xfce4-autostart-editor at the terminal and add /usr/bin/launchy.

    I tried installing Launchy using the instructions here, and also installed make (sudo yum install make). I downloaded the tar file and extracted to a folder. When I type in :

    sudo make

    I get the following message:
    [user@localhost launchy-2.1.2]$ sudo make
    audit_log_user_command(): Connection refused
    SKINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/share/launchy/skins\\\" PLUGINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/plugins\\\" PLATFORMS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/\\\" qmake-qt4 Launchy.pro && SKINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/share/launchy/skins\\\" PLUGINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/plugins\\\" PLATFORMS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/\\\" make -f Makefile release
    /bin/sh: qmake-qt4: command not found
    make: *** [release] Error 127

    Appreciate some help on this. I'm a Linux noob, so please forgive any stupidity.

    Thanks!
