Minicom Command not found.....

[Rikarus]

Hey all!

So I ran the rpm to install minicom, mandrake 9.1 KDE says it is already installed.

So I log in root, and run minicom -s so I can get it going, and I get a commnad not found error. Ok looks like it's not in the path. So I search (locate) for minicom, and cna't seem to find anything....anyone have any experience with finding wayward files?

Thanks!

thats the list of file in the debian package for minicom

In the console, run an update of your locate database ('updatedb' as root), then use locate to find the file. In this case: locate minicom

you might have to pipe the output in some cases when there are too many files. To do this, use shift + backslash (\) then less. For the above example:

as root: updatedb

as root or user: locate minicom|less

this works for any file on your system.

all I am seeing is the muck I am creating in my temp directory.

I again tried to run minicom-2.00.0-9.alpha.rpm
I get prompted to enter root password, the a window pops up saying everything is already installed.

updatedb, locate minicom, bam just see the chaos that is the tmp driectory I set up for this.
