arrg, last question for awhile, really this time
This is accually the same problem I had when I switched from Mac to Windows. I downloaded Nethack (I love that game) and ran the rpm, accually I ran 2 rpms. The site said redhat may not have q installed, whatever that is so they had nethack with qt. My question is, where the heck is it? I installed because when I run the rpm again it says package already installed. I ran a search and that found nothing. Thanks in advance for any help.

If you're looking for the exec, on my machine nethack is in /usr/games (I'm running Mdk 9.1 so its probably the same for you)
You can also try as root: updatedb then try locate nethack (as root or other user) |
Another possibility would be to use
the tools that come with your wicked and evil packaging system :} rpm -ql <net-hack-rpm-name> | grep bin That shoudl spew out all executables for that package... Cheers, Tink |
ok, I found the nethack folder. in side is a buch of stuff. a question now is how do I run it? does it have to be ran in terminal?
Thanks, TC |
The original nethack is (as far as I know,
I've never played it ;}) a console app, and thus would have to be run in a terminal window... but since you mentioned the QT libraries I'd assume that you also have a version with a graphical interface ... It should be possible to invoke that from a file-browser or a link you create on your desktop or a taskbar-button... Cheers, Tink |
I need a book. I need to learn. Linux for Windows Users, does this book exist?
|
Yeah, there is such an animal, but you would be better off just using a book like Running Linux or Linux In A Nutshell. It's really important to take on Linux on its own terms -- yeah, it's very natural to try comparing an unfamiliar thing to a familiar thing, but aside from the fact that Linux and Windoze are both operating systems, there's really not much to compare.
