Fedora8系统Gnome桌面环境下安装EVA QQ

1 安装EVA所依赖的开发包：
sudo yum install qt qt-devel kdelibs kdelibs-apidocs kdelibs-devel arts arts-devel

2 解压缩eva(不一定要把安装文件移动到这个位置，其他位置也可以)
mv ~/eva-20080127_1.tar.bz2 /usr/local/src/
tar xvjf /usr/local/src/eva-20080127_1.tar.bz2
cd /usr/local/src/eva

3 开始配置
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/QQ --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt-3.3/ --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include/ --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/

4 编译、安装
sudo make
sudo make install

这样就可以到/usr/local/QQ/bin下找到eva程序，运行，就可以登陆QQ了。
由于eva是为kde设计的，所以在gnome下面运行会有错误提示。
QQ本身做得也必是很完善，中文的字体显示都有问题，所以实在是不好用。

install JRE on Firefox (Fedora 8)

sudo rpm -iv jre-6u2-linux-i586.rpm

sudo ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.16/plugins/

sudo ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

use sudo without password

有时候我们只需要执行一条root权限的命令也要su到root，是不是有些不方便？这时可以用sudo代替

Fedora默认新建的用户不在sudo组，需要编辑/etc/sudoers文件将用户加入，该文件只能使用visudo命令，首先需要切换到root

在文件末尾加上下面的一行：
yourUserName ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
