RPM problem

[shuzi]

well i just install gtk-gnutella....but the problem is that it didn't make an icon in the start menu..so i don't know how to run it? where can i find out its executable?

Simple,

open a terminal

type "gnutella" with out the quotes.

Hit enter.

Need to know what window manger or desktop manager you are using to help with the icon part.

well it says "command not found"....but Synaptic shows that it has been installed.

and i use Redhat 8.0 - KDE (check the sig ;) )

actually i think it's called gtk-gnutella

try that from a terminal.

type in gtk and then press tab to see all the possibilities.

yeah that works...but is there any way i can find the executable instead of guessing it? or is it that the executable is usually the name of the rpm itself?

I really need to pay more attention to those sigs.

Don't most execs go into /bin or /usr/bin?

Maybe even /usr/local/bin.

In a console, type: whereis gtk-gnutella

You should see something along the lines of the following example:
[root@barbedos /]$ whereis ping
ping: /bin/ping /usr/share/man/man8/ping.8.gz
[root@barbedos /]$
