6.55.1. Installation of Procps

This package requires its patch to be applied before you can install it. Make sure it's unpacked before running the installation commands.

Install Procps by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../procps-2.0.7.patch &&
make &&
make XSCPT="" install &&
mv /usr/bin/kill /bin

6.55.2. Command explanations

patch -Np1 -i ../procps-2.0.7.patch: This patch fixes a locale problem that makes top crash under certain locale settings.

make XSCPT="" install: This will set the Makefile variable XSCPT to an empty value so that the XConsole installation is disabled. Otherwise "Make install" tries to copy the file XConsole to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. And that directory does not exist, because X is not installed.
