I just did an upgrade install of FC4 over FC3 on my Dell Latitude
notebook. I can add launchers for programs that I installed from RPMs
and they work. But if I add a launcer for a program that I compiled
(./configure && make && Make install), the launcer dos not work. I
select "Run in terminal" and the terminal window flashes for a fraction
of a second and the app dies. Same exact response if I use "Run
Application". The particular app is "fgrun", a gui front end for
FlightGear. If I just type "fgrun" in a terminal, the app launhces, but
the launcher does not work whether I put it in a pannel or on the
desktop. This worked fine under FC3 on the same notebook. I just tried
several other non RPM compiled apps and got the same results. Any ideas
what changed from FC3 to FC4 that could cause this? Yes, I updated FC4
with a very lengthy "yum update".
Thanks in advance for any help.
