The /usr/bin/kappfinder script has a small bug, it uses the variable ${install_root} that's not working properly in RH6.0 and RH6.1. (I have checked this only against i386 architecture) FIX: apply the patch below: <pre> *** /usr/bin/kappfinder.orig Fri Sep 24 19:19:20 1999 --- /usr/bin/kappfinder.my Tue Nov 9 23:39:45 1999 *************** *** 33,38 **** INSTPATH=$1 # ignored the more or the less ! kde_icondir=`echo '${install_root}/usr/share/icons' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` ! kde_appsdir=`echo '${install_root}/usr/share/applnk' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` ! kde_minidir=`echo '${install_root}/usr/share/icons/mini' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` ! kde_largedir=`echo '${install_root}/usr/share/icons' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` fi --- 33,38 ---- INSTPATH=$1 # ignored the more or the less ! kde_icondir=`echo '/usr/share/icons' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` ! kde_appsdir=`echo '/usr/share/applnk' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` ! kde_minidir=`echo '/usr/share/icons/mini' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` ! kde_largedir=`echo '/usr/share/icons' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'` fi *************** *** 53,55 **** OLDDIR=`pwd` ! cd `echo '${install_root}/usr/share/apps' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'`/kappfinder --- 53,55 ---- OLDDIR=`pwd` ! cd `echo '/usr/share/apps' | sed -e 's#\$KDEDIR#/usr#'`/kappfinder </pre>
