What's the Linux equivelant of an exe file? [SOLVED]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Well, this problem is sort of solved. I now understand that Linux 
doesn't just have an equivelant to ".exe", and that some reconfiguration 
of my thinking will be required to wrap my head around it. I'm going to 
go out and hunt for Linux books soon, and hopefully get more of a feel 
for this sort of thing.

As for Open Office Beta, it turns out that the problem in getting it 
started was that when I did the RPM install, I missed a subdirectory 
which had the RPMs for menu items and MIME integrations. So I 
uninstalled and reinstalled OpenOffice Beta, this time being careful to 
get all the right components lined up, and voila, I have OpenOffice Beta 
working like a charm. Menu icons and everything.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. As is always the case, I not 
only solved the problem, but learned a thing or two about some related 
issues along the way.
