I think I may have made a mistake installing some programs. Not knowing that some programs were available and should be installed from Add/Remove Applications, I installed some programs with targz files. I put them in a folder, home/user/downloads/ and installed from there. Does this mean that they are running from there and are in the wrong place, or do they install themselves in the proper directories? I am trying to install development tools so I can have gdesklets but can't do that now because some apps are missing even though yum says they are installed. The programs that Add/Remove Appilcations can't find are cyrus-sasl, libuser, and xorg-x11-libs. Also, I keep getting errors to adjust my PKG_CONFIG_PATH but can't seem to find it. Can someone tell me where to look? I'm not really sure what it is. Thanks for the help. b
