I have removed the binary RPM (see "Why?" below).  If you are on an
RPM based system, get the latest .src.rpm and create a binary package
from it by doing (as root, do 'su' first if you aren't already root):

  rpm --recompile bubblemon-x.y.z-w.src.rpm

If everything seems to go OK (no error messages towards the end), go
to the binary RPM directory for your system:

  cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

Install the newly created binary bubblemon RPM from there:

  rpm -ivh bubblemon-x.y.z-w.whatever.rpm

Redhat users: See to that you have the RPMs db1-devel,
gnome-core-devel and libgtop-devel installed prior to building the
bubblemon.  They should be on your Redhat CD.

If the above process does not work for you, *please* let me know (at
d92-jwa@nada.kth.se).


Why?
----
Because I'm running Debian.  Since many RPM based distros (like Redhat 
for example) aren't as up to date as Debian, dependencies get messed up if 
I generate binary RPMs.  Also, since no two distros name their
packages the same, I couldn't make useful binary RPMs even if I wanted
to.

If you really want a binary RPM, ask your Linux distribution vendor
nicely if they want to make binary packages for you.  This shouldn't
be too impossible; if you like the program, they may very well like it
too!


Your RPMs are broken / I can't get it working
---------------------------------------------
Please send me a mail at d92-jwa@nada.kth.se and I'll help you out.  I 
*really* appreciate bug reports, so *please* don't be shy.


But I hear Debian is older than the ice age
-------------------------------------------
That may be true if you are running Stable.  I'm not.  I'm running
Testing.

Basically there are three flavors of Debian:
  Stable   -- stable, but gets older than the ice age between releases
  Unstable -- bleeding edge, known to break horribly a couple of times 
             a year
  Testing  -- everything that has been in Unstable long enough without
             any critical bug reports.  Everybody doesn't agree with me,
             but in my opinion Testing gives me the edge without the 
             bleeding :-).

More information on Debian Testing can be found here:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2000/debian-devel-200008/msg00906.html
 http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/

If you want to try out testing, be prepared for an installation
program without any hardware detection.  If that doesn't scare you,
first install Stable (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/#new-inst).
Then add the relevant lines to /etc/apt.sources (at the bottom of
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing).  Then do:

 apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade

... or use dselect, whichever suits you best.

Have fun!
