I have netscape-communicator installed in my system, rpm -q
netscape-communicator generates this: netscape-communicator-4.04-3.
I already modified the line which invokes netscape to:
action none 1 exec netscape-communicator
This invokes the script in my /usr/bin/netscape-communicator which
contains the netscape script.
But the problem is it get stuck with in the ff. lines where it checks
if netscape-communicator is installed using rpm -q:
if ! rpm -q $which >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "You don't have $which installed." >&2
exit 1
fi
This generates the error message "You don't have netscape-communicator
installed."
I have already found a solution for my problem.
1. I commented out the above lines in the netscape script.
2. I found out that netscape rpm -q returns a value in $I which has
no leading /usr. My netscape is installed in /usr/lib/netscape
directory so I added a line:
I=/usr/$I
after the line:
I="`rpm -q $which --qf '%{INSTALLPREFIX}\n'`"
I'm just wondering how these extra parameters (--qf '%{INSTALLPREFIX})
for rpm works. Reading the rpm man page says it's part of --queryformat
option which is modified standard printf formatting. Can someonme
enlighten me on this?
