Hi,

I'm with probono on this one.

Allthough finding out which libraries are required is not difficult technically that is not the goal of klik. there are many package management systems that attempt to resolve library dependencies with more or less elaborate methods.

I am by no means a linux expert and have tried a dozen distros in my time and sooner or later i try to install an app and i enter libary hell. Hard disk space is cheap as chips, download bandwith is pretty cheap too. I don't understand what the big deal is in having a bunch of libraries installed multiple time. Especially i don't understand how people can complain about hard disk utilisation when most linux distro are so so bloated and install by default at least half a dozen applications to perform the same task. Surely disk space is not such a big issue!!!

Klik is basically aiming to make linux more accessible to the average user and the average user has no idea and doesn't care whether an app is 3Mb instead of 2.5Mb because of a few duplicate libraries.

I love the ease with which you can install apps on a mac and the idea of having that possibily in linux without having to worry about which libraries are installed or whether new ones are required is really refreshing.
