"\" "/" I used the right one! :-) In the /bin folder is a script that will start squid - it works! and is running now. The squid exe lives as it should in /sbin When I compiled I used ./configure --enable-arp-acl --enable-delay-pools make make clean make install Not sure that I needed the "make" AND the "make clean" but did it anyway... I'm sure it is a path problem but clciking on the icon in KDE does not work either.
From the shell konsole..
set path to /usr/local/squid/sbin
then
squid -k rotate
returns... command not found
If I click /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid from my desktop I get "couldn't find
the program 'squid'"

Directory delimiters begin /bin
with the forward slash going "/" way as opposed to DOS which goes "\".
This is the same in root, either from the commad window with the path set to \sbin or by clicking the icon in \sbin!
Any ideas anyone?
So:
/bin/squid
is the file you're using? Hmm, that is not correct -- it should not have been installed there at all. If you built it yourself, then it ought to have gone in /usr/local/bin, unless you supplied something different to ./configure --prefix, but I am assuming you did not.
Could you be a little clearer as to what you did, and *how* you compiled/installed squid. I think you've made a mistake somewhere. As for "squid -k rotate" not working, this is either a PATH issue, or you have missed something vital off when you installed it.
