Installing bluefish problem

**billybeag** · 03-15-2005

I did, both on this install and the previous one.
I got an error there when I was browsing through the menus and clicked on the quickstart icon it tells me:
There was an error running kmdr-executor /usr/share/apps/quanta/scripts/htmlquickstart.kmdr.
Check that you have the kmdr-executor executable installed and it is accessible!
I have checked out where the script is and it is where it expected it ie the above path it quotes.
I then checked out what properties/permissions the executable named had and changed them so even the dog should be able to run it. Also fiddled with the file associations for the script.
No luck so I gave up and started looking at bluefish1 instead.

I have come to the conclusion that the discovery edition of MDK 10.1 is very limited indeed. Half the expected development libraries etc are not in this release.
I am seriously thinking of actually spending some money on the Powerpack release, but if they are this tight with free/ opensource components in their "free" release then why should I support them at all?
They seem to have made thier distribution policy up to get new linux users hooked on their product then if they want to progress to a higher platform of useability then we are expected to pay.

Has Bill Gates got involved there?
It bleedin' feels like it in my cupboard.

If you setup your URPMI sources to include contrib, updates, main and plf, there is really no difference in the various releases, other then proprietary software (ie Adobe Acrobat, Realplayer, etc...)

Now that is useful knowledge

Why didn't I think of that?

Thanks Jeremy
This thread is definitely digressing, sorry chaps,
/me hangs head in shame.

(edit) I finally am beginning to understand this now, the urpm (easy urpm) database of mirrors contains all non commercial packages bundled in every release version of MDK10.1 regardless of whether Mandrake want hard cuurency for their distro or not.
Light dawns.
I take back what I said about them being akin to Bill Gates.
AND the dependencies which was stopping gtk2.0-dev from configuring is totally taken care of by urpm.
hmmmm.

Success!

Urpmi did the trick in the end.
The dependencies were enormous though.

I've said it many times before...urpmi is your friend. Love urpmi, cherish urpmi, touch...sorry, got out of hand there for a second.
