I create east tutorial of liferea long ago, but she has still not changed much, originally I wrote it in Spanish but I translate it to the English for this wonderful community, but they excuse that she does not express to me well is that I have certain errors with my English.

Liferea is an aggregator for online news feeds. There are many other news readers available, but these others are not available for Linux or require many extra libraries to be installed. Liferea tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator for GTK/GNOME.

In the official site http://liferea.sourceforge.net/ you read the characteristics.

You Need[b]
GTK2 2.4
GConf2
libXML2 2.6
GtkHTML2 (libgtkhtml-2.0)
GtkHTML2-devel
(optional) Mozilla

[b]INSTALLING

Thus I installed Liferea:
Note: the appointments represent exits of the shell, I put them so that they can compare in case of errors.

first whit wget unloading to my personal folder the last stable version:

Soon I decompress it, I compile and I install with the classic ones ./configure make &&make install:

[walhez@MyHost ~]$ tar xzvf liferea-1.2.4.tar.gz

[walhez@MyHost liferea-1.2.4]$ cd liferea-1.2.4

[walhez@MyHost liferea-1.2.4]$ ./configure

The exit must finish like this:

Frequent errors: It can be that to at the end of ./configure, the shell throw this:

QUOTE
checking for GtkHTML2 support... no
checking for Mozilla support... no
configure: error:
*** You must have either the GtkHTML2 or the Mozilla development
*** libraries installed in order to build Liferea!



Of being thus it means that they lack the dependencies: GtkHTML2 (libgtkhtml-2.0)
GtkHTML2-devel


Liferea by defect adds some important sites, all related to computer science and GNU/Linux. In order to include a new source of the news they must puncture in “new source”, soon to write the direction Web and to cliquear in accepting. Remember that single they will be able to add webs that ofrescan feeds, in the image see some examples
