Mandrake 9.0Not all packages will appear in the menu automatically. You could try using menudrake and do File - > Reload system menu. Otherwise it's a matter of finding and adding. Try rpm -ql and the name of yourpackage to see where it is.
Hi
As I understand it, rpm's can only be installed when logged in as root.
I have installed packages as root, using the GUI RPM facility i.e. left
click the rpm.
They appear to have installed correctly and I can see them in the list of
installed software i.e. in the alphabetical list of software in the Remove
Software window of the Mandrake Control Centre.
However, when I try to start them using the application toolbar, they are
not there e.g. * Texmacs is apparently installed under RPM/Applications/Editors, but
does not appear in the list of editors,
* Macaulay2 installs under RPM/Engineering, but Engineering is not
even in the list of applications
Why is this and how do I access the packages ?
