lopster
Hi, i am trying to download lopster, but when i click over lopster-1.2.0.tar.gz, a file named konqueror5Zfkka goes to /tmp/kde-root. Why?
I also tried to download the .src.rpm file. I used rpmbuild --rebuild lopster.src.rpm then i went to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and i installet it with rpm -ivh, but i don't know where is the program. I tried to find it with search files but no mathes was found. Any help for me? Thank you. |
First of all, you can't simply click on tar.gz files and expect them to install. Those take steps to install. ./configure, make and make install...
Secondly, how did you search for this file? Try simply lobster at a console or terminal to start the application. If nothing, try searching by doing something like this: find / -name *lobster* To find out where an command to start the app is located. |
If you're trying to install a .tar.gz file, you need to compile it in order to "install" it. Check out this "LinuxAnswers" how-to on how to decompress, configure, and install files from source:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ticle&artid=15 I believe that .src.rpm files just install the actual source file which you then have to compile. Check out the how-to, it's well written and a good walk-through on how to install from source. And if you "lose" a file in the future, you can use this (as root) to find it: find / | grep filename where "filename" is replaced with what you're looking for (or even a partial name like: find / | grep lopster Hope that helps -----EDIT----- Sorry for "reposting" Tricky, looks like you beat me to the punch. |
