HTOP Install in a users home directory.

swamprat · 08-28-2012, 05:27 PM

I installed CentOS 6.2, and ran the system update via the Gnome software update function.

I downloaded and installed HTOP using the following commands and did this while I was Root and within my home directory:

wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/i386/...l6.rf.i686.rpm
rpm -i htop-0.9-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm

HTOP works fine but another user can't use it because he doesn't have access to my home directory.

Should this program be moved to some other directory which is accessible to all users of the system and if so what directory should I use.

Thanks

That sounds odd, but in any case, I'd remove it and re-install as root using yum instead of rpm.
If you must use the repoforge (rf) repo, add it to your yum.repos.d and install the yum-priorities pkg before you do anything.

you can give him +x on that particular directory (browse) or make a symbolic link (/bin or anywhere you like)

You can, but I wonder why this has happened? Something sounds to have gone amiss here.
