error with tuxcards
i just installed tuxcards.. well actually i did: tar xvzf tuxcards-x-x.tgz in the root directory.. it unzipped INSTALL in that directory then unzipped several other files into /usr/docs and /usr/local/bin. i got lost and did whereis on tuxcards and found it in /usr/local/bin.. i thought it was a directory but it wasnt so i typed tuxcards and it started the program.. (i didnt have to do make, make instlal, make clean etc etc which i thought was weird, but the program works) anyways, i did all this as root.. now if i type tuxcards as a user i get this:
bash-3.00$ tuxcards
QSettings: error creating /home/dachy/.qt
TuxCards - cannot write to /home/dachy/.tuxcards
Segmentation fault
what's the problem here? and can anyone explain how my installation got messy?
i downloaded the file to /home/dachy, then i did the whole tar xvzf thing but it created the folder /home/usr/dachy which i wasnt sure was right so i deleted it and went to the " / " folder and did it so it would unzip everything into the pre-existing /usr directory. the problems with that was that it created /INSTALL/. is there supposed to be a /usr directory under /home/dachy? and is that why the program isn't working for dachy? i wanted to be able to install the software so ANY user could use it. thanks for the help!
