From where did you install?
From source?
- If so, you need to have fam-devel or gamin-devel installed
(configure should print in the end whether it found FAM/Gamin or not)
From SuSE specific package?
- If so, probably the person who built the package failed on the
point above (missing fam-devel package). Try installing the
autopackage version or build from source or report this issue to the
packager.

I need to look into this. You could add the ftpuser manually, using
either useradd (command line) or whatever GUI tool SuSE provides. The
numerical ID doesn't matter, but it should be called 'ftpuser' to make
it easy for pureadmin to find the user.

Hmm, ok. Sounds like I screwed up when I built it then. I'll try to
upload an updated package tonight (european time).

Soooo, I've moved on to the latest 64 bit version of Ubuntu desktop
and it is having problems too.
Output from the autoinstall package...

The autopackage support code could not be installed.
It can be manually downloaded and installed by running the
installation script located in the downloaded archive.

Is there a 64 bit version of this software?
I also tried to compile the source code but it couldnt find gthread,
glade or gtk2
Oh well, back to the drawing board...

Autopackage does not support 64-bit systems - only 32bit. Sorry, but
this is a limitation in autopackage and not pureadmin.
Unless you find an updated ubuntu package (the one in the repositories
are v0.3 I think), you'll have to either compile from source (not that
hard, but it requires you install development packages + compiler -
see below) or run the old version from the ubuntu repositories.
If you want to build from source, make sure you install:
gcc (just take the default version)
gnu make
gtk development packages (think they are called libgtk-dev or similar)
gamin development packages (probably called gamin-dev or simliar)
then you download the source tarball from pureadmin's webpage and
extract it to somewhere (like /tmp). In the extracted folder, from a
terminal, you run:
./configure
# It will complain if you are missing something, everything is
available from synaptic
make
sudo make install
That's it. Pureadmin is installed :-)

Great!

Heh, I thought it did that already.. :-)
I'll put it in for the next release...
Glad everything worked out in the end!
