How can I start a programm after installation??
Hi, I have FreeBSD 4.10 with KDE. I installed Gimp from /usr/ports/graphics/. I typed make prefix=/usr/local/gimp It took a while and dowloaded a lot of other programms and installed them. After that I typed make prefix=/usr/local/gimp install Again everything looked good no warning or error. But /usr/local/gimp is empty !! In /usr/ports/graphics/gimp there is now a folder called work and in that folder gimp2.0.6 folder. Do I need to run ./configure from that folder And make and than make install ??? I could not find any gimp.sh file to start the programm.
