MR_Candyman Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 it's probably in /usr/local/bin so that all users can get to it might be able to start it by going into a shell and typing "maya" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrStaticVoid Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 did you search for libstdc with the urpmi package system, never used mandrake would assume there is a package system That lib should be in the glibc or gcc packages. I'm at school so I cant say which for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey$cale Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 and how do i install packages?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted February 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2004 Grey$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.

kemical Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 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.

markwolfe Veteran Posted February 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2004 Open up a shell and type: which progname, and Linux will respond with the path for that file. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey$cale Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 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?
