Hi! Everybody

I successfully installed Gv4l 2.2.4-0@i386 (Gui for video 4 linux), which I downloaded from their main site as a rpm, using yast by clicking on the file on konqueror, clicking install with yast and giving my root access for installation. When I click on the icon to run the program, it tell me that transcode is not in a known programs path, although is install (transcode 1.1.0-0.pm.0@i586). I can see the Gv4l and transcode apps in my /usr/bin folder. How can I tell Gv4l to look for transcode in /usr/bin. I know I have to use the path command, take in count I have not use path command in opensuse 11.

Thank you in advance.

If /usr/bin is not already in your path, then I'm a windows user.

You can see what your path is with a simple "echo $PATH" command. You can also use the "env" command to see a full list of set environmental variables.

Whatever your problem is, I can guarantee it's not the path variable. It's gotta be something in the program itself. Have you checked all of your configuration options? Perhaps there's something there to help direct it to external programs.

Thanks for for the quick response David the H. If I do a "echo $PATH" command it returns this:

scooter@wildswede:~> echo $PATH
/opt/kde3/bin:/home/scooter/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin

We can clearly see /usr/bin is included in it.

I do not see any path option to specify location of programs. Smart package manager reports that Gv4l and transcode have this files:

Any ideas?

Any ideas anyone? I like Gv4l app, it really easy, and has many options to control transcode with it.

Thanks in advance
