Starting spicebird?

Hi,

I installed spicebird-bin with yaourt from AUR but I don't know how to start.

Alt+F2 (Gmrun) doesn't give me spicebird and in terminal it also says "unknown command"

Thanks

maybe it installed in a path you dont have in your /etc/profile PATH="" thingy.
do a "locate spicebird" and check where it installed

locate doesn't work (locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)  (file or directory not found)

But I found it in /opt/spicebird

Thanks

Hi Barghest, does your user have the needed rights? Did you try as root? Maybe add the user to the locate group??

And did you 'updatedb' to update the search-database?

Hope this helps...

I assume your locate command is provided by the mlocate package (because it is looking for the mlocate.db database). The mlocate package should also create the /etc/cron.daily/updatedb script to automatically update the locate database. I don't know why the mlocate.db database has not been created, but you can try and create it yourself by using the updatedb command. Cheers.

Thanks a lot,

sudo updatedb  and putting me to the group locate did it

Re: Starting spicebird?

I also cannot run spicebird. I have an Arch64 and the install of spicebird was easy, without any problem, but when I try to run it:

/opt/spicebird  $  ./spicebird
./run-mozilla.sh: line 166: ./spicebird-bin: No such file or directory

I don't know what is going on. The archive spicebird-bin is in /opt/spicebird. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks,
