I'm a Linux newbie when it comes to installing applications not from the Ubuntu Software Center, and I've been having trouble installing Transcriber AG. I basically went around looking for tips and went round in circles--following instructions about installing tar.gz files (this was my initial reference:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/...s-45094/),
and then, since the file had rpm files, looked up tips for those too (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/in...u-linux/),
and then ran into errors I don't understand.
For reference, I had installed CMake firs based on the Installation guide (http://transag.sourceforge.net/index.php...=install), then started installing TranscriberAG, but ran into problems at #2 (got a "not a directory" message, which got me looking up rpm files, tried installing those from the tips I got. I'm now stuck at installing the rpm files, since my computer doesn't seem to recognize sudo alien.
This is what happened in my terminal (after I'd looked up installing rpm files):
In case it doesn't work out, can you recommend any good transcription applications?

build-essential is already the newest version.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
