Re: [Adonthell-general] Mandrake Cooker - adonthell-wastesedge...mdk.rpm

[Doug Laidlaw]

A few days ago, I had a computer crash and had to reinstall both Windows and 
Linux.  Fortunately the Cooker RPMs survived.

I have "adonthell-wastesedge" as a SRPM.  Even if I installed the Adonthell 
RPM first, it refused to compile, saying that it couldn't find adonthell.  It 
has just dawned on me that the reason was the change of installation 
directories -again.  The compilation process was looking for adonthell in 
/usr/local/bin, but the RPM had put it in /usr/games.  Before, the old copy 
was still in /usr/local/bin, so the dependency looked O.K.  The reinstall had 
deleted my old /usr directory.

To prove the point, I copied the adonthell executable from /usr/games to 
/usr/local/bin, and everything was O.K. from then on.  It looks as though they 
have a bit of tidying up to do.

I am downloading the binary (noarch) RPM for further investigation.

Happy New Year.

Doug.
