by cutting and pasting "cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh" you are asking it to perform 2 commands. Try changing your launcher to: /root/Desktop/PCB/src/pcbtest.sh And see what happens.

I downloaded, built and installed two apps, PCB and XCircuit. All went well. But neither of the apps installed an icon on the Gnome desktop or in the menu bar. To run the PCB program manually I open a terminal window and do: cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh That works. Then I right click on the desktop. - Create launcher. Name: PCB_Test Command: cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh Type: Application and click OK. When I double click on the launcher I get an error dialog: There was an error launching the application Details: Failed to execute the child process "cd" no such file or directory I cut and pasted the command right out of the terminal window so I know it works. What kind of magic do I need to wrap around my command to get it to launch the script? TIA ------------------------------- Dave M Davem (at) Mich (dot) Com Ann Arbor, Mich.
