    I'm trying to install Kmess messenger on the AOne with the default distro.

    The install docs says to type "sudo make install" to start installation.
    But all I get is a message saying: "sudo: make: command not found"

    Other command lines including "make" also gives the "command not found" result

    What do I do now ?

    You can install make or better, IMO, install the development metapackagge, butild-essential

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential

    "sudo: apt-get: command not found"

    Don't think this work with Linpus Lite.
    Or do I need to install some other things to be able to use "apt-get" ?

    Linpus Linux (the default distro) is Fedora-based, so it doesn't use apt. Try "yum install xxxxxxx" where xxxxxxx is the package you want to install

    Kmess is not listed in the list of available packages under "Add/Remove Programs".
    And the installation for Fedora on the Kmess webpage uses something called "KPackageKit", which I obviously don't have on my AOne.
    I tried to run this Kmess installer, but, of course, with no luck.

    How do I solve this problem ?
    Can I install KPackageKit separately ?
