Can't find a program I installed

[Sasquatch]

I installed Pixie 3D renderer via Sourcery. I got the message telling me all actions have been completed successfully. The program is supposed to be available in the Graphics sub-menu. But it isn't there. I tried running it via Run Program and got nothing. Can anybody tell me how to find it? Or how to verify it did install correctly?

What does

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/packages/Pixie-*

say?

[Sasquatch]

I'll have to find out when I get home Monday night.

I did find a directory associated with the program. So I know it was at least partially installed.

[Sasquatch]

It looks like it's fully installed.

But I don't think that's everything it should have. That looks like the docs and libs. I don't see any bins.

[gapan]

Can you also post the respective logs from Sourcery?

It looks like there is no menu entry in the package. The binaries that are included in the package are these:

Code: Select all

usr/bin/rndr
usr/bin/sdrc
usr/bin/sdrinfo
usr/bin/show
usr/bin/texmake

I am not familiar with this, so I don't know if that's all that should be there or not. But if there are no errors in the Sourcery logs (and I'm guessing there aren't any), I think that's it.

[Sasquatch]

How would I change that command to get the Sourcery logs?
I'll check it this evening when I get home.

I did find the slack.build script in the doc directory. It doesn't mention any bin files or directories. So I'm guessing that's the problem.

[gapan]

From the menu in Sourcery, View/Logs.

It shouldn't matter that there is no mention in the slackbuild script.

Have you used this software before? Is it supposed to have a GUI?

[Sasquatch]

I haven't used it. But, yes, it has a GUI.

While I'm thinking about it, isn't there a command to find orphaned dependencies? I tried installing both Blender and FreeCAD via Sourcery and both installs crashed. There's no telling what kind of clutter that left behind.

[gapan]

What do you mean "crashed"?

And did you try any of the binaries I pointed at you?

[Sasquatch]

I didn't see your reply until I was already on my way to work this morning. So I haven't had a chance to check out those bins.

By crashed I mean stopped and gave an error message. FreeCAD stops almost instantly, saying there was a problem downloading the source code for a dependency. Blender ran for a few hours before stopping. In both cases it said remaining items in the queue would be purged.

I thought about installing from source. But I am completely incapable of diagnosing problems. So if configure, make, make install doesn't work I'm just as lost as I am now.
