evan Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I downloaded Nedit from web, and extracted the package, then copied the folder I got to usr/local/bin. (because on one website, it is said that this will let your nedit be system-wide use). but when I type the command under the terminal, it still said 'cannot find the comment' things like that? Is there anything I missed? by the way, I am using SuSE 9.0 Pro. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemical Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 just type $PATH in a console it'll list all that is in it.. also the nedit you downloaded is it a source or just a binary download? if its source you need to compile it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
