File Priviledges with installpkg

Eklipz · 11-15-2004, 12:01 AM

If I install a package with installpkg as root, how can I make it so that other users are able to run the installed program? I have tried to slocate the installed files to chmod them, but I couldnt find them on the system like I could if I installed manually from source. Can anyone help me here?

As ROOT do updatedb, they redo slocate package name like so ------ slocate gaim
And if it installed in / ........ Directory. all users should have access too it aready. if you have kde yuo can also use kpackage to find your newly install package.

As for the location of installed files:

less /var/log/packages/<package-name>
