For some > reason I edited my fstab the way it is ;). it does sound like you're new to unix. e17 doesnt link to anywhere. it gets installed like all other software - the exact same way, following the linux FHS. > The default behaviour of e17 doesn't fit to the needs of unexperienced > and in addition not to the needs of experienced users. it fits into standards followed by software for linux/unix for many years. many years. e doesnt require you install it somewhere - its entirely determinable at compile time. and it will follow your requests. you need to getmoe in touch with your filesystem and know where things are installed :) compiling software isnt for the novice. you have chosen to take on the task - but remember it comes with the requirement to learn and also know what you are doing :) expecting to compile something and install it in the default place all compiled software goes, and not know where that place is, how it fits into $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ld.so.conf, an other relevant XDG/fdo dirs (/usr/share/applications, /usr/share/xsessions ... etc.) will mean you need to learn about these. we didn't come up with the standards and we didnt configure ubuntu or write other apps. these apps (like gdm) explicitly like to EXCLUDE extra compiled desktops as it wont look in /usr/local/share/xsessions - which is where ALL .desktops for extra DE's should/will go if compiled and installed with defaults. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
