Using RedHat 9

Followed FAQ on installing showeq

typed the following

# cd /
# cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login

got the following error :

bash: cvs: command not found

was logged on using terminal and in the root.

Cheers

looks like you don't have cvs installed or its not in your $PATH.

[bazzman]

so how could I install it?

or check if it is?

i found that if i dont use this command.. my cvs dont work either..


export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected] :/cvsroot/seq
only needed to do that every once and awhile.. not sure why.

[bazzman]

Thx Seqmage will try that later and hope it is installed and works.

bash: cvs: command not found

I would make sure you have cvs installed. cause its not in your /usr/bin folder.


Goto your root level "/" and locate cvs
You should see /usr/bin/cvs
If not.. you dont have cvs installed.
Thats why the command is not found.

if you just type cvs at the prompt.. you should see something like this..
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
(specify --help-options for a list of options)
where command is add, admin, etc.
(specify --help-commands for a list of commands
or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
(specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
Specify --help to receive this message

Well I did just type CVS at the root and got the same error.

Guess its not installed then :(

Would the RH9 discs have it to install from or do I need to download it and install?

I tried from the cvs homepage - downloaded a version but tried to install but nothing happens when I try.

Tried to force the install and got an error about could not create a folder (cant remember offhand what that error was will post later the exact path)

[bazzman]

Yeap managed to install if from the RH9 disc
