Running a new program
I think this is a real newbie question, sorry.
I've just been through the procedure to install a new application on Redhat 7.2. (The application was swftools, but I don't think it's relevant to my question). All the wget, gzip, make, make install commands seemed to work sucessfully, but when I try to run the newly installed application I get this: pdf2swf -h bash: pdf2swf: command not found I get this when I am in the directory where I think the relevant executable file resides. What am I doing wrong? I am sure it must be something really simple. |
Just so nobody wastes time answering me, I've worked it out:
./pdf2swf -h |
You understand why this works though?

btw if you dont know where the app is installed do a
whereis app or locate app |
If you fresh install an app you may want to run "updatedb" before using locate.
