The output of 'rpm -ql xdiskusage' which I got in the terminal is as follows:
/usr/bin/xdiskusage /usr/share/doc/packages/xdiskusage /usr/share/doc/packages/xdiskusage/README /usr/share/man/man1/xdiskusage.1.gz
From the above there is a file 'README', I opened it in Konqueror and it says me that you need 'fltk' if to 'compile', means what is compile and why it needs to be complied? Is it necessary for using 'xdiskusage'?
No, that is only _if_ you need to compile the program. Inm tjhis instance we have no need, it's been compiled and packaged for us. The key line in the output from the rpm command is this one: /usr/bin/xdiskusage As it's in /usr/bin there is a strong chance that this is the executable for our app. So, from the command line, type /usr/bin/xdiskusage or simply xdiskusage as /usr/bin should be in your path and hit enter. That will bring up the program.
I installed 'kdirstat' but I am not able to see it anywhere, it could be because I am using KDE 4 and this was a KDE 3 application?
Probably kde's system configuration cache has not been updated since the install. You can try running kbuildsycoca4 or in kde, type Alt-F2 and then type "kdirstat" in the box, and enter. If the file has been correctly packaged the install would have included the necessary qt3 libraries etc to run, so it should run just fine under kde4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
