Had to symlink gnome-gtkhtml-editor-3.0 in /opt/gnome_cvs/bin/ to /usr/bin for that to work.Are you aware the *nix (Unix, Linux... whatever) reads your $PATH environment variable in order from left to right and search for a program in that? /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin Your box will look in /bin before /usr/bin and finally /usr/local/bin before saying it can't find a file. If a file is found in /bin it won't look in /usr/bin for the file because it found it and would be crazy to continue looking in the other paths.
I'm pretty sure that the OP is in the same boat as I am on this one. Doing a "which gnome-gtkhtml-3.0" returns "/opt/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0". Checking /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin, there are no copies of gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 lying around. But it still doesn't work. Creating a symlink from /opt/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 to /usr/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 works however. I'd almost venture to say that the path is hardcoded in. Though I certainly hope that the developers wouldn't do something that silly. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
