Thanks to Stephen Kuhn, Derek Jennings and "et" (and anyone else whose email I might have missed) for providing valuable insights into installing and launching rpm applications.
Regards John -----Original Message----- From: Sendak, John Sent: 22 January 2003 12:19 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RPM : Accessing Installed Packages Mandrake 9.0 Hi As I understand it, rpm's can only be installed when logged in as root. I have installed packages as root, using the GUI RPM facility i.e. left click the rpm. They appear to have installed correctly and I can see them in the list of installed software i.e. in the alphabetical list of software in the Remove Software window of the Mandrake Control Centre. However, when I try to start them using the application toolbar, they are not there e.g. * Texmacs is apparently installed under RPM/Applications/Editors, but does not appear in the list of editors, * Macaulay2 installs under RPM/Engineering, but Engineering is not even in the list of applications Why is this and how do I access the packages ?
