How do I determine where an application is installed in Fedora Core 3? I have installed a couple of apps using RPMs and I do not know how to start them. I have found Netscape which from the terminal I type '/.Netscape' and it sounded like it was starting, waited for a few minutes and returned to the command prompt.
Thanks in advance!
Wrong syntax. If you are in the same directory as the executable, but it (that directory) is not in your $PATH, then the syntax is ./Netscape, not /.Netscape. The latter syntax would tell it to look in the / directory or partition, for a hidden file called .Netscape. Taint gonna work (unless thats where you put it that is :-)
Hi All,
adding to this. You shouldn't really need to run ./netscape as the RPM, from my understanding, will add the install to PATH, so, just typing netscape from the prompt should run it. Also, I'm pretty sure that the RPM adds an icon under Main Menu(The Read Hat)/Internet(well at least the firefox/mozilla one does). HTH. Cheers.
