rpm
I have downloaded a rpm to file:/home/... right clicked and clicked on install, it installed ok but I cant find how to run the program. What am I doing wrong? :newbie:

What is the program? You may be able to run it by typing the program name into a console or in the run command box.
Did you install it as root? |
what program?
open terminal type in progarm name what happens cd /home/<wherever_you_put_it> ls su <insert_password> rpm -ivh <programname>.rpm what happens? |
rpm
The program is compupic-5.1.1063-1.i386.rpm
|
As ehdwuld said (and to expand)
Open a terminal type in "su" minus the quotes and hit enter at the prompt, type in the root password (because, of course, no one runs as root regularly :p) type in "rpm -ivh compupic-5.1.1063-1.i386.rpm" minus the quotes and hit enter when it is complete, type in "exit" and hit enter type in "compupic" and hit enter (minus the quotes If it fails to run, I would type in "whereis compupic" that should give you places it is installed, you could then try "path/to/directory/compupic" eg "/usr/local/compupic/compupic" That should do it. If not, could you post any error messages you see? |
Thank you XavierP
Useing "Find files" I found them in "/local", only one file opens, I click on the icon that looks as if it should open the program and nothing happens. I will try what you have suggested tomorrow. |
