hi!
I just install an rpm package and it run well.
but I can only access it by typing the name of it in the xterm,
can anyone please tell me how can I put it in /usr/local so I can see it in the program menu
under kde

Hi athenerx,

I can give you something like an answer, but my KDE is in french, so...

To add an entry in your K-menu, just run something like 'control panel' (between 'About KDE' and'Execute'), choose 'configure', 'Menu editor' and you'll see something like a tree of the applications avialable through the K-menu. There you can add whatever you want

PS : I'm running KDE 2.0.1

Hope it helps !

the fact that the executable isn't in /usr/local/bin is irrelevant, and has nothign to do with the kde menus. nice program btw...

Hi,









Ok, sorry for the silly answer (I've just woken up...)









If I understand well, you have an rpm problem, have you ?









In that case, to see the files installed by an rpm bundle, just type (as root of course):









rpm -ql bundle_name









For example :









shell # rpm -ql xmps /opt/gnome/share/gnome/apps/Multimedia/XMPS.desktop



/usr/bin/xmps


/usr/bin/xmps-config



/usr/include/xmps


/usr/include/xmps/plugin.h



/usr/include/xmps/types.h



/usr/include/xmps/xmps_config.h



/usr/include/xmps/xmps_message.h




[...]




/usr/share/xmps/skins/default/playlist.xpm



/usr/share/xmps/skins/default/titlebar.xpm



/usr/share/xmps/stop.xpm



/usr/share/xmps/xmps-logo.xpm



/usr/share/xmps/xmps_intro.xpm




shell #





And then just make links :

ln -s destination_file source_file :

ln -s /usr/bin/xmps-config ~/my_prog/xpms-config





Hope it helps (this time ;-))
