    Installation Problems with RPM

    Quote: After downloading the two binaries, did you install them first before doing apt-get update? yes, I downloaded and installed apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm & apt-devel-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm before doing apt-get update.

    Installation Problems with RPM

    I didn't succeed in the first step. I downloaded 2 files, but when I typed the command, i got the following result: [wang@localhost wang]$ su Password: [root@localhost wang]# apt-get update bash: apt-get: command not found Also, I installed win version gaim in winxp, but it seems cannot connect either yahoo or msn. Then I realized the host and port are set default as aol. What's the hosts and ports that i need to set for yahoo and msn? One more thing, Dan, could you please teach me how to install tcl/tk package. I haved posed the request under new linux user, needs install help in the application section. Thank you very much.

    Installation Problems with RPM

    Quote: If you know the name of the app, there should be a corosponding "start file" in /usr/bin that will start the application. Find that, and the name it goes by, then at a command prompt, type it in exactly as it is listed in /usr/bin press enter, and it should start. I just removed the old version of gaim, and add new version of gaim-0.74-1rh9.i386.rpm. However, I cannot find it in the /usr/bin. My OS is RH9.

    New Linux user, needs install help!

    I download the files (tlc8.4.5 & tk8.4.5) and unzipped them, but I still don't know how to install them in my Redhat 9 system. Can someone please give me a hand? Thanks.

    Problems with browsers

    Quote: When you say "often cannot connect" does that mean you sometimes are able to connect? Are you using high speed internet or 56k? Yes, sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I use high speed internet (cable). My roommate and I share the cable modern. While he can browse the webpages, my browser shows "cannot contact server." When I switched to win environment, I didn't get such a message. Therefore, I suspect something's wrong with my setting in my linux Mandrake. ;(

  13. Hi Everyone, I just installed a chinese input software. It is a RPM installation file. After installation, I cannot find the icon in the "starting application" How do I know where the software was installed and how can I open the software application? Does Linux have a folder which is like the "program files" in the Windows environment? Thank you & Happy Holidays.
