Need help with Rose Garden

[retoon]

Hey all, I am having trouble installing Rose garden. was told that it had notation software in it. I do some composition and think that app would be ideal. I downloaded the RPM, and am using RH8, but when I go to install it in the GUI, it begins to load, then just dissapears! Also, on another note, I have managed to unpack xine, went through make, make install and everything just fine. This is where the problem begins. Once the make install is completed, how do I get to use the program. I want to use it to watch my dvds. It installed into its default directory, (/usr/local/bin/). As always, I appreciate any help!

Try

whereis xine

The Xine documentation at http://xine.sourceforge.net will tell you what command to use for starting Xine.

How are you installing Rose Garden? Commandline rpm (rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm) or the rpm package manager?

Check to see if Rose Garden is actually installed.

rpm -q packagename (without the version number and extension)

i.e.

rpm -q rosegarden

I just posted this in another similar thread on music notation software.

Have a look at Noteedit (http://tan.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html) that was posted on freshmeat.net today.

That is exactly what I was looking for! Im gonna try to install the package on my system, but I may have problems, seeing as I, being the Newbie that I am, have not yet succesfully loaded any new software into my Linux box. Should I need help, I may call for more help. I apologize in advanced for any trouble I may put you through.:confused: .

No trouble at all as we are always glad to help (as best we can).

I actually installed Noteedit at work yesterday.

I downloaded the tse3 source tarball, installed using

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
checkinstall (which runs make install and then builds and installs a rpm package)

checkinstall can be found via a freshmeat.net search.

Then I installed Noteedit

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
checkinstall

The defaults install Noteedit in /usr/local which causes libraries not found errors, so I need to specify --prefix=/usr instead.

I only started Noteedit once so far to see if it would run and it did. :)

I downloaded the TSE3 lobrary, and it compiled and installed no problem. I then installed noteedit, and it configured fine, compiled, and installed fine (To the best of my judgment). I assume that the command to get it running is noteedit, because that was what the readme said. I typed that in and it bashed me!Again I would appreciate any help!!!
:D

Have a look in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin for noteedit.

If noteedit is not in your PATH (echo $PATH), then you need to

cd /path/to/noteedit

./noteedit

or create a desktop shortcut or add a entry in your menu's.
