<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have a Windows program I use called GetRight. It lets
me put in a text file a list of URL's to download and the filename to
save each to. I can also set a schedule to do a daily download of this
this. I'm using this for downloading web based pages containing daily
commodities market prices. I'm trying to find something in Linux to do
this same function.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I tried Prozilla GUI, but found several problems. I
can't put a whole list of URL's in at once. They all get mushed together
and hence gives a web site address error message. If I put them in one at
a time, it will work on some. But some give a result file of 0 bytes, and
some URL's give and endless series of retries, until I cancel the
download.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Then, I tried to install Download for X. I got an error
after running ./configure indicating it could not find GLIB 2.4.0 or
later. There was a web address to download it. So, I downloaded
and installed a package called pkgconfig-0.15.0</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am now getting an error from Download for X ./configure
command which says it could not run GLIB test program. It continues to say
that this usually means GLIB in not installed correctly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>At this point I am totally lost and don't have a clue how to
get this working. And, I don't even know if Download for X will even do
what I need to do anyway. I am getting very frustrated with being
unable to do just about anything with Linux! </FONT><FONT size=2>As
painfull a statement as this is, I think I would be better off sticking with
using Windows and forget all about Linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If anyone has any usefull ideas, please reply back.
Thanks</FONT></DIV>
