where is gless? I need it! (no, really)


I setting up a misterhouse machine and have the ViaVoice for linux rpms. When I try to install them, they die because they can't find /usr/bin/gless I have RedHat 8.0 and, indeed, gless ain't there. I also have the 7.3 CDs and it seems like it may be in there somewhere. Anyone know for sure and which package has it? A search on the net was long and fruitless.

Thanks loads,
Mike

Looks like older versions of gnome-utils included gless. If you can't get ahold of it, maybe you could just create a symbolic link to the normal 'less' utility, like so:

Code:
ln -s /usr/bin/less /usr/bin/gless

I was thinking about trying a symbolic link. Yep, I also figured it was part of a gnome-utils package, so I installed the one for RH8, but gless wasn't there. I'll post a follow-up to let you and anyone else know how it worked.

Thanks again,
Mike
