I yum installed smart and now when I try to invoke it I get this..
[root@iam ~]# smart --gui
error: Interface 'gtk' not available
[root@iam ~]#
Seems a dependency wasn't considered and I have everything gtk
installed known to yum... via yum install gtk* ..about 40 megs worth
and I still get this error. Ric
Extras has four packages (smart, smart-update, smart-gui, and
ksmarttray) available for downloading. You need to install the first
three to get full capabilities.
I cannot see ksmarttray in extras.
Just do a yum smart-tray and you should get it. I got it last night just
fine
