Probably you already read my another blogpost about ttytter. This one is additional information on how to enabling popup notifications (like Growl in Mac OS) . According to my previous blogpost, you can run ttytter by executing this command:

# ./ttytter

And, if in any case, you missed it, then you just need to go to FloodGap website, scroll down a little bit, then under the "Download and change-log" section: right click and save file as 'ttytter' (without extension).



Open terminal, go to the directory where you keep the 'ttytter' file and I'm going to improve that a little bit by moving ttytter file to /usr/local/bin:

# sudo mv ttytter /usr/local/bin

Installing notification system
In order to be able to receive a popup notification, you must installing several package from Ubuntu repositories:
1. Installing git-core and libgtk2-perl-notify package

$ sudo apt-get install git-core libgtk2-notify-perl

2. Make sure you in your home directory by typing:

$ cd

3. Then do these steps:

$ git clone http://github.com/colindean/ttytter-libnotifyperl.git
$ sudo apt-get source libnotify-bin
$ sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools
$ sudo apt-get build-dep libnotify

4. Download this patch
5. And do these steps:

$ cd libnotify-0.4.5/ (or whatever version/ directory name you have there, according to version downloaded)
$ patch -p0 < ../notify-send-support_body_from_file.patch
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install

After all done, you need to go here to create your own .ttytterrc file and put it in your home directory. That's it. Credit goes to stormsdragon. Enjoy! :)
