xmessage vs mandrake
 

there exist a system command called "xmessage" in redhat. But it doesn't exist in mandrake. Does anybody know how to use x "xmessage" in mandrake?

I'm using Mandrake 9.1

[carlie@XP2400 carlie]$ locate xmessage
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmessage
/usr/X11R6/bin/gxmessage
/usr/X11R6/man/man1/xmessage.1x.bz2
/usr/share/doc/gxmessage-2.0.3
/usr/share/doc/gxmessage-2.0.3/TODO
/usr/share/doc/gxmessage-2.0.3/README
/usr/share/doc/gxmessage-2.0.3/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/gxmessage-2.0.3/ChangeLog
/usr/include/kxmessages.h


So, my system has xmessage.
Try urpmi xmessage as root in a console to install it.

I dont have those files you have listed...
And urpmi xmessage command fails due to lack of desired package.
