lignumCAD installation
i have installed lignumCAD. i have checked installed packages and the software installer for mandrake 9.1 shows me that the package does infact exist, however, i am unable to find a way to start the program so i can evaluate it. i also installed varicad and it created a start up link in the applications menu. i have checked for a start up link in kde and gnome and am still unable to find even a command that will start the program.i have searched the machine to even find the lignumCad install file or folder and cannot locate it. my questions are
1 has anyone else had this problem? 2 how can i locate installed packages from a file manager? 3 are there any special command to start a program? thx in advance for any help. |
To find out the name of the executable program open a terminal and type in:
rpm -ql lignumcad | less This will give you a listing of every file installed as part of the lignumcad package. One of those files is the executable program. Maybe the rpm package name is not lignumcad. Type in: rpm -qa | less and you will get the name of every rpm installed on your system. " are there any special command to start a program?" Once you find out what the executable program name is for lignumcad then you can type that name in to a command line, create a desktop icon to execute the program, or add it to a KDE or Gnome menu. ___________________________________ Be prepared.
