I've linux mint helena only. Hence I downloaded the source and followed the steps provided. When I gave
sudo make cache,
i get the below error. Can I proceed without this step. What are the consequence when I proceed without this make command and how to mitigate them?
sh -c "/usr/share/gnome-menus/update-gnome-menus-cache /usr/share/applications/ > /usr/share/applications/desktop.en_IN.cache"
sh: /usr/share/gnome-menus/update-gnome-menus-cache: not found

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, or even if it's a known bug, but I get this output from the terminal when installing SugarCRM CE on a Ubuntu 10.04 system with this theme installed and running:
skorzen@hive:~/Software$ sudo ./sugarcrm-CE-6.0.2-linux-installer.bin
/usr/share/themes/Elegant-GTK/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:155: error: unexpected identifier `handlestyle', expected character `}'
Congratulations for your work!
