First try to install a program by compile from a .tar.gz file

Hi [member=6945]Sprintrdriver[/member]

I'm hoping to be able to get qDirStat installed, but I'm stuck now and need help to get further

Why  do you want to compile it when you can install it using "apt-get install qdirstat"? Just add the PPA:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/qdirstat

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install qdirstat

https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewald...u/qdirstat

A way lot easier, isn't it?

Hope this helps!
