it worked! Re: [ferret_users] installation problem

[simi <simi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sir,
   Atlast the ferret started working. In my PC the ubuntu settings, i have
edited the apt.conf in /etc/apt/ then apt-get install csh worked. then i
installed csh and then Finstall worked. I was not happy with why this apt-get
is not working. then by giving the command 
 $synaptic 
i got the synaptic package manager. i change the network preferences in the
settings.
then everything started working fine. at the end i installed libXm.so.3.
then used this in place of libXm.so.4 which ferret requires,by giving this command
$ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/liblibXm.so.4

I also uncommended the lines in source.list as u said in /etc/apt/

I tried then with the bashrc as you suggested too, it worked.
thanks a lot
simi
