Nicotine

sandy_obrien · 05-18-2004, 01:50 AM

I'm trying to install nicotine, after I install the RPM, i type 'nicotine' in the terminal but it says 'bash: nicotine command not found'

how do I run actually nicotine?

try: ldconfig

If doesnt work: find / -name nicotine
Check if the executable path is in $PATH
if not create an appropriate link (ln -s)

Are u sure u have installed the program? (rpm -ivh <rpm_filename>)

If yes are u sure it runs with the command "nicotine" ? Check the QUICKSTART or README in the dir

Also check if needs to become "root" to run it

runs now?

You're getting those permission denied errors because you're running the find as something other than root, you con't have read access to those directories logged in as anything else. You also can't run lsmod as anything else than root.

Nicotine troubleshooting.

I have followed the install forum at http://captnswing.net/howto/nicotine/
I find I am still not able to run the program..
The problems I have run into are at the end when install: sudo mv nicotine-1.0.8.tar.gz /sw/src/
In my terminal window it comes up with the reply
mv: nicotine-1.0.8.tar.gz: No such file or directory
I know the file is in the folder.

Also I have tried to install nicotine /sw/bin/fink index; /sw/bin/fink -y install nicotine-1.0.8

I get the reply:
Failed: directory default/nicotine-1.0.8-1/nicotine-1.0.8 doesn't exist, check the package description

So I have not been able to run nicotine..
Some help would be greatly appreciated
