I wanting to install the smarty on my system, however I ran a "apt-cache search smarty" and I found nothing. However, I googled and found some sites that have the package including:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/smarty/
would it just be a matter of me adding the previous site to my sources file, and I will be able to install it? or is there something else I have to do? if there is a better way of doing this, I appreciatte the heads up, I would really like to use apt though since it is pretty simple to install packages that way. thanx!
Since your apt-cache search didn't bring up any results I guess either your sources.list is not set up sufficiently or you are simply running Woody. Hm, or even both...
In the former case add something like |deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ <yourflavorhere> main to your /etc/apt/source.list.
In the latter case you have two choices: As smarty hasn't been (and won't ever be) released for Woody you can either add a backport line to your sources.list |deb http://debian.jones.dk woody misc or use the version from testing/unstable from the archive you've found and install it directly using dpkg, according to its dependencies it should install just fine as long as you have apache (v1!) and php4 installed.
