Ok,
I was able to download and install devx.
The problem is when I try and configure for the rofi-1.7.5 I get the following errors:
( config.log is attached)
root# ../configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/root/Downloads/rofi-1.7.5/build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
Sounds like the devx is not loaded properly. You need to place the downloaded devx.sfs in a suitable location and then load it with the SFS-Load program. You don't "install" it.
Try the command which gcc in terminal. Does it return /usr/bin/gcc ?
EDIT:- Did a test build, see here:-
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=7894
Yes, gcc is in /usr/bin/gcc
I downloaded to devx pet package from here.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... s-fossa64/
Clicked on the the package and "Yes" to install.

When you look at any failed operation, the primary word you should look for is "error" (secondary would be "warning"), for instance:
> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libisl.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Did you by chance get the wrong DEVX, one that doesn't match the puppy it was built for/with?
You can try to work around this one by making a symlink for libisl.so.15 to a different version, but it may be a game of whack-a-mole.
Thanks for your comments.
What is the correct link to download devx from?
Thanks,
David
