Re: gnome-control-center file missing
Hi, gnome-control-center is not a fundamental or important application. I agree that probably it has been eliminated by RedHat for unknown reasons. Anyway: 1) It was present in RHEL6beta has shown here: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/rh6-beta.html 2) It is present in all Gnome based distributions like debian, ubuntu, suse etc. as part of the gnome environment. 3) In Scientific Linux 6 there is a last residue of this disappeared application: if with alacarte you click in Preference Menu and with right mouse button on the Control Center item, looking at Properties, you will see a call to the gnome-control-center application.

Hi Enry,
On my laptop running RHEL 6.0 I see the following --
[quote]
[ajb@Duo2 ~]$ ll /usr/bin/gnome-control-center
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/gnome-control-center: No such file or directory
[/quote]
So it appears to be an upstream issue and not one of Scientific Linux.

It doesn't look like an issue at all.
From the SPEC file:
%{_bindir}/gnome-about-me
%{_bindir}/gnome-appearance-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-at-mobility
%{_bindir}/gnome-at-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-at-visual
%{_bindir}/gnome-default-applications-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-display-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-keybinding-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-keyboard-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-mouse-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-network-properties
%{_bindir}/gnome-typing-monitor
%{_bindir}/gnome-font-viewer
%{_bindir}/gnome-thumbnail-font
The related content of rpm package:
/usr/bin/gnome-about-me
/usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-at-mobility
/usr/bin/gnome-at-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-at-visual
/usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-display-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer
/usr/bin/gnome-keybinding-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-mouse-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-network-properties
/usr/bin/gnome-thumbnail-font
/usr/bin/gnome-typing-monitor
And when I extracted the source code and checked the autoconf files,
there is no binary gnome-control-center to be built.
Probably a false alarm.

gnome-control-center file missing
I have recently installed SL 6.0 in a laptop. I noticed that the gnome-control-center application is installed by default (also if it have to be enabled in the main menu or start by command line) but it is not running. The problem is that the main binary executable /usr/bin/gnome-control-center is not present in the installation and seems missing from the related rpm (control-center). I suppose that this error is specific of SL 6.0 and not present in the upstream RHEL60 distribution. Probably a corrected control-center rpm package can be easily build and put in the SL repository.
