Hi Leslie Turriff via tde-users,
Anyway, once I'm in /usr/local, creating symbolic links is straightforward: the command format > is ln -s <target> <link>; so in his case, | ln -s /usr/local/lib/icecat/icecat-bin /usr/local/bin |
/usr/local/lib/icecat/icecat-bin is a file, right? /usr/local/bin is a directory, right? Linking a directory upon a file seems no good idea IMHO.

Yeah. I don't know how I came to do that. (?) What I should have done was
| cd /usr/local/bin | ln -s ../icecat/icecat icecat
which works just fine. _______________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@trinitydesktop.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@trinitydesktop.org Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydes kt op.org
A simple symlink from the Icecat directory to /usr/bin will make it globally usable by all.

Correct. But for some reason I can't imagine, I linked the wrong thing. :-)
