I just got installed the .tar.bz2 file of Dropbox (from here: https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx ). Then I read the README file after doing tar xvjf nautilus-dropbox-0.6.3.tar.bz2
.
The README instructions said
Quote:

You will need the following packages (or equivalent):

libnautilus-extension-dev

In the nautilus-dropbox dir just do:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

After installing the package you must restart Nautilus. You can do that by issuing the following command (note: if you're running compiz, doing so may lock up your computer - log out and log back in instead):

$killall nautilus

I did all of that, I restarted nautilus. I even logged out and back into my computer, and, nothing.
When I did makeI got make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Same with sudo make install --> make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
What do I do to get Dropbox running/ working in general?

Why install by hand?
If i'm not mistaken i thought it was in the sunrise-overlay. You can check out this bug report also https://bugs.gentoo.org/237433

By the way, you might have to wait a little while to check out sunrise overlay as right now i believe overlays.gentoo.org is still down.

I'd just rather do this in the command line.
How do I get past the problem of #make install?
I've looked on other pages, and appearantly that command is supposed to work, but in this case all I'm getting is

Your problem started before make install:

If make can't find a makefile, that'll stop it in it's tracks.
Are you in the right directory when your trying this? Did "./configure" complete sucessfully?

If you don't care about integration with nautilus, then you can use this text based install. Essentially there is nothing to "install". You just copy it to a directory and run dropboxd.

Yes I'm in the right directory. Umm, the ./configure did end with this:

checking for docutils... no
configure: error: couldn't find docutils

Big problem? and how do I fix that, if I can that is?

That means your configure didn't complete sucessfully and you dont have a valid makefile, you're missing a required dependency (in this case, docutils)

It's available via dev-python/docutils in portage.

Also, this is in the sunrise overlay, I highly recommend you install from there, or if you want to do it "manually" write (or copy) your own ebuild locally.

Thank you so much. That did just the trick. I followed through with the rest of the README and everything finished without a problem. Thanks for all the wonderful help.
