Unhappy adding apps installed by rpm to kmenu


Hi Guys

I've just installed Python and Zope using RPMS on Mandrake 10.0 and have been able to add them to Kmenu but then i get a box that requires me to enter a command to link to the application, what should I enter does anybody know?

I will be adding other applications like erp5 etc in this manner can I use the same method ?.

i don't know the EXACT command for these apps, but all executables (IE: binaries) for applications will be found in /usr/bin, with a very few exceptions. so, look in /usr/bin for something relating to python & zope. the command would then be either........... /usr/bin/(name of binary for that app)........or alot of times you can just run the app by simply using the name itself, without the /usr/bin path. if the binaries are not found in /usr/bin, then check in /usr/lib. certain apps run from there, instead of /usr/bin.

also, please note.......... the commands will be Cap Sensitive, so make sure you add them exactly as they are listed.
