problem with qemu

[Dy7SLyTq]

so im working on a tiny os, using this website http://mikeos.berlios.de/write-your-own-os.html but the problem is i cant get qemu to install. i tried installing with apt-get but it would never be able to get all of the packages, so i tried to build from source and it said the whole thing went successfully (configure/make/sudo make install) but when i typed in qemu it said error command not found

I haven't solved your problem (yet) but I am guessing you are using this link?

If not, try it.

EDIT:
Why would apt-get not work?

i was not using that link. i just downloaded the source and ran the traditional configure/make/make install. ill try the link though. thanks. as to why apt-get wouldnt work, i would run sudo apt-get install qemu, and sometimes it would look like it installed and other times it would say error: couldnt get all of the packages. try with apt-get update or --fix-missing. i would try both but to no avail
