Linux Help: Anyone know where the JED executable is?

[Crimson]

I am trying to get Jed working in a new Mandrake installation.. The Jed RPMs are installed, I confirmed that.. but whenver I try to run jed I get a "bash: jed: command not found" error.. Anyone know where the non-xwindows version of jed resides so I can run it?

typically in /usr/bin/jed. Try which jed to see where the binary is located, or whereis jed. Make sure it's in your path.

Hmm.. which doesn't find the executable.. finds some libs for it however. If I do an rpm -qa | grep jed I do see the RPM's for it installed however.. am I missing something?

Mmm, no. You did install emacs right? jed is based on emacs and needs that to run. I would doubt that the rpm would install without emacs being installed, but you never know. which only searches in your path. Try whereis instead.

you can always do a 'rpm -qpl [jed rpm package]' to see where the jed rpm is being installed.

Figured out the problem.. only the xjed rpm was installed.. strange, I swore I installed all of them.. dumb ass am I.

No comment.

You know...as much I like jed, I think I equally despise xjed. Just nasty. At least xemacs looks nice.
