Can any one tell me how to re-compiled Slackware packages from slackbuilds.org, for Slacko 5.5

Hello, Wac.
IMO, the logical place to ask would be on the slacko 5.5 thread, or to PM 0micko, the author of slacko, directly.
Best regards.

tried it myself, and got 'no such file or directory' on: "/sbin/makepkg".
i noticed there is no /sbin directory, which would explain the error.
is that because Slackware has an sbin dir, but Slacko does not?
edit: nope, i changed 'sbin' to 'bin' in the maker script, and same error. So it's missing makepkg.....
thx

makepkg is a script. Get it
hereand put it in /sbin (you do have it).

worked!
education:
- is makepkg missing from my Slacko because i'm not using the devx kernel?
many thx!

hi all
i built python 3.1.1 using slackbuild. slackbuild said "package created successfully". i am able to install the resulting .tgz package on slacko. puppy dependency checker reports that my python install is not missing any libraries or dependencies.
great!
however, my linux does not see python. i get:
# python
bash: python: command not found
how can i fix?
thx!

Only a guess, but try unpacking the .tgz and check it's directory structure. Things may not have ended up where they should have.
