Has anyone had any luck putting Launchy on their aspireone?

http://launchy.net/

I tried unzipping, i sudo yum'd make and gcc, and followed the zip / make install instructions i've seen on the web for fedora. I get a g++: Command not found error after running make install. I also get that if i just type in g++. gcc appears to be installed though. yum wont reinstall it. Is there a different gcc for the atom processor?

any ideas?
 
There appears to be a separate package for g++. And you'll need boost too

sudo yum install gcc-c++
sudo yum install boost-devel.i386

after that its just :
sudo make
sudo make install

run program - launchy.

i'll post back again once i figure out how to get it on boot.
 
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Could someone be so kind to write a more beginner friendly instruction on how to install this? I would really apprichiate it!
 
To get launchy to start at boot, just use xfce4-autostart-editor at the terminal and add /usr/bin/launchy.
 
I tried installing Launchy using the instructions here, and also installed make (sudo yum install make). I downloaded the tar file and extracted to a folder. When I type in :

sudo make

I get the following message:
[user@localhost launchy-2.1.2]$ sudo make
audit_log_user_command(): Connection refused
SKINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/share/launchy/skins\\\" PLUGINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/plugins\\\" PLATFORMS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/\\\" qmake-qt4 Launchy.pro && SKINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/share/launchy/skins\\\" PLUGINS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/plugins\\\" PLATFORMS_PATH=\\\"/usr/lib/launchy/\\\" make -f Makefile release
/bin/sh: qmake-qt4: command not found
make: *** [release] Error 127

Appreciate some help on this. I'm a Linux noob, so please forgive any stupidity.

Thanks!
