just log into root, if not save all your maya files into your home directory you'll be able to write to them then

That lib should be in the glibc or gcc packages. I'm at school so I cant say which for sure.

Grey$cale,

One of your original questions that could use an additional answer is: where does the program go when it is installed.

One way to find out is to just ask your computer! ;)

Open up a shell and type: which progname, and Linux will respond with the path for that file.

Pretty useful.

and how do i install packages??

pull up a console rpm -ivh package.rpm

to update rpm-Uvh package.rpm

like i said before haven't used the urpmi system im not sure if it pulls packages from internet or not, if thats the case just use that to install packages.

Normally, I don't quote myself, but it would not let me EDIT, so I'll have to do this to add on to what I should have said in one message. :blush:

While the which command will tell you where your program is, you must remember that Linux stores all executeables in the /xxx/bin/ or /xxx/sbin/ directories. It puts the other components in the other appropriate directories. man (manual) info is stored in teh man/ dirs, and source code in the src/ directories.

It sort of seems 'scattered' for people who come from the Windows World, but it is really clean and sensible once you get used to it.

COOL love this cool info guys =), another questions is where are the icons, most of the programs i installed like maya and shaked just have a SHELL...lol, so i am assuming that Linux doesn't create icons or something?

OH btw, i will trying installing the package when i come back from school in a little while... =)

If you use a good package manager then it will create icons for you and also take care of dependencies.
