installing software question
 

I just installed VLS (a media player) and I think everything went fine. I got no errors after doing the

configure
make
make install

however, now that it's installed (if it is) how do I use it? The readme did not tell me anything about using the software.

what distro are you using? Try this as root:
updatedb
locate name_of_the_player

it will give u locations of where the files are. you can run the .sh file by putting ./ in front of it.

I'm running rh9

yea, so updatedb should work. do a locate on the program u just installed. post what u find.

locate vls

it will usually be in /usr/bin
