apt-get install git-core git-gui gitk would be a good starting point See you Frederic -----Original Message----- From: git-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon 2/14/2011 10:01 PM To: git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Mercurial over Git no success Hello Gitters, long ago when first starting the project I'm currently running at my company I looked around for a VCS/SCM that would be anywhere better than: CVS/SVN. At first I looked at Git but could not get a version to run on my Ubuntu box. So, I had to settle for Hg. Now, that I'm several months into the web app dev I'm responsible for the hired help has convinced me to switch to Git. Now, I'm back at the same old problem I had months ago that forced me to give up on using Git. Unlike a lot of Unix/Linux based software the usual: ./configure make make install Does not work for building Git on my local Ubuntu box (10.10 BTW). Some non-innocuous error condition as follows: cannot find zlib.h Pls advise.
