photoworks Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I installed Ksmoothdock on m mandrake 10.1 OE and this is a cool feature. I wanted to install version 3.5.1 but when i try to install it from the source, an i run ./config in the console, it tells me : Configure : error : C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See "config.log2 for more details. So since i was unable to install from the source, i downloaded the rpm package available. Now my systems tell me that the ksmoothdoc-3.5.1 was successfully installed, but i cannot run the application. i cannot find ksmoothdock in my menu items and when i try the command ksmoothdock in the console, it tells me "batch command not found. I desperately want to install an run this new version ince it has promising features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I'm not famailiar with this app but it's possible that "ksmoothdoc" may not be the proper command. Check "man ksmoothdoc" for info, if there is one. If not, try typing this in a terminal: rpm -ql ksmoothdoc That will list all the files installed from the package and their locations. Check the name of the executable and type the command exactly as it is named. If that fails, look for any "ReadMe" or ther docs that were installed that may help. Also might want to check permissions on the executable and see if only root is allowed to start it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to find it after all with the information you gave me and it works fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
