I've attempted to install FileZilla 3.0.1 on my Ubuntu 7.04 64-bit system. Currently, 3.0.1 does not appear in the repositories, so I've followed the following steps:

1. Download archive
2.

Code: Select all

sudo tar jxvf FileZilla_3.0.1_i586-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
sudo chown -R root:root /opt/FileZilla3/
sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/FileZilla3/

3.

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/filezilla.desktop

4. Add the following to the file

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=FileZilla
Comment=FTP Client
Exec=/opt/FileZilla3/bin/filezilla
Icon=/opt/FileZilla3/share/pixmaps/filezilla.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;
StartupNotify=true

Doing this creates a menu item for FileZilla, but when I click on it nothing happens. Have I done something incorrect, or does this version not support the 64 bit OS yet? Thanks.

FileZilla does support 64bit systems, however that package doesn't.

Just compile FZ yourself.

I've viewed the wiki for compiling a 64 bit version of FileZilla for Ubuntu. Thus far, I've done or verified the following:

1. Install wxWidgets
2. Install libidn
3. Install gettext

I have GnuTLS on my system, but it is not a new enough version for FileZilla to use it. Thus, I have attempted to compile this as well, following the below steps:

1. Download the archive from ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/.
2. Extract archive and cd into its directory.
3. ./configure
4. make check install

Upon doing this, I received the following error:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../libutils.la', needed by `hostname-check'. Stop.

Any thoughts on where I can go with this? I hate to be a bother, but this is the first time I've actually compiled anything from source. Anyway. Thanks for any thoughts.

No idea. You could try updating to Gutsy, it has a more recent version of GnuTLS already.

Gutsy has 1.6.x version of gnutls.

What i have done in ubuntu feisty is to get the source packages of guntls from the debian SID (unstable) repository and compile them. It has version 2.0.1

Everything went fine

I have tried to compile on Suse 10.1 running x86-64 and kept stuck on gnutls being a too old version.
I updated it by downloading from the OpenSise build service from the 1.2 to the 1.6.x version. This should be sufficient since Filezilla requires >=1.5..
I keep getting the error on./configure that it cannot find gnutls when it tries to test.

According to the configure log, it finds the proper path, so I'm wondering what's wrong.
I'm no expert so may someone has a clue.
Is it also looking for gnutls-32bit , it does not say so but????
