Cricket Scoreboard for Linux - README
Cricket scoreboard for linux is a nifty program to display almost real-time scores of a cricket match. It will stay tucked up on the corner of your screen while you do other work. It picks up its data from Rediff.com servers. It is meant as a linux alternative to the proprietory windows only program available at http://www.rediff.com/cricket/score.html.
The scores are refreshed after 60 seconds. A refresh can be forced by right-clicking on the window and selecting "Refresh!".
Proxy support is included in v0.9 pre, but there is no way in GUI to specify that. Just set the environment variable $http_proxy to your proxy server. For e.g., if you use bash:
$ export http_proxy=http://server.mycompany.com:8080/
It might be convenient to add this line to your ~/.bash_profile to make it permanent.
INSTALLATION
This program needs gtk+ 1.2 and gnome-libs installed in order to run. *** You need not be running GNOME to use this software though. You can run WindowMaker, KDE or anything, you just need gnome-libs installed. ***
If you have a fairly recent Linux distribution (like Debian/Potato or Redhat/6.2), you probably already have the above libraries installed.
If you are compiling Scoreboard from source, you will also need the corresponding "devel" packages of gtk+ and gnome-libs installed.
To install from sources:
$ cd scoreboard-xx
$ make
$ su
# make install
Then run the program "score".
