pacman -Ql ted

This will list all the files inside the ted package.

Maybe the executable name for it is different in the /usr/bin. Try the pacman -Ql to find out all the files owned by ted....and see which one is an executable

EDIT : 6 seconds too late !!!!!!!!

Danggit !

Re: [SOLVED] ted installed allrite BUT then not found on drive !?

Thanks !
"Ted" is the name for the exe file
Maybe "pacman" could display the executable's name - when it's not in lower case - after successful install ?!

Re: [SOLVED] ted installed allrite BUT then not found on drive !?

Cool. you can mark the thread solved by editing the first post and changing the title.

As for pacman displaying the executable name, its really in the hands of the packager. if the PKGBUILD echoes the executable name than it should be fine, but I think it really is out of the purview of pacman.
