Can someone point me to a How To or Tutorial? I have know about SEQ for a while and I am a beginner at Linux/Unix and I think it would be a fun project for me at school. I have searched for Howto and such but keeps telling me
Sorry.....etc
Thanks!

I feel so noobish right about now.....

[Vailor]

I get this respose when attempting to d/l SEQ

bash: cvs: command not found

I am using REDHAT 9.0 freshly installed. Am I missing something here? I have read the FAQ and searched for REDHAT and similar things but givin me nothing...

Am I just the biggest noob or what?

Well first thing you should do is learn to use the Search (http://seq.sourceforge.net/forums/search.php?s=) key. It will help you from being flamed and you will find just about every question that has ever been asked about SEQ.

Second you should learn how to use linux. You can find some tutorials and help guides here:
http://www.tldp.org/

Third you should read all the post from at least the last 30 days. There are sometimes patches that need to be applied to get it going. Im not sure if the last SEQ patch made it into the cvs yet.

Fourth you can read this thread on a step by step on getting it to work:
http://seq.sourceforge.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4878

The thread above might be a little out of date (meaning it might be a different version in the cvs and might require a different patch).

If this all seems a little overwhelming you can try MySEQ:
http://seq.sourceforge.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=60
It runs on a windows platform.

Most people here are willing to help people out but only if they do their best to fix the problems themselves first. Linux and SEQ are a learning process and only a very few will take someone by the hand and walk you totally through it. Most will point you in the right direction and give you a good swift kick to get you going.

That bash error means that either you do not have CVS installed on your system, or that it does not exist within your PATH.

I am using Redhat 9.0 as well, so I am inclined to think that it is the latter, not the former, as I haven't had any problem using CVS fresh out of the box. You might want to make sure that the following exist in your PATH environment variable. (echo $PATH to print out your PATH.)

/usr/local/bin
/bin
/usr/bin
/sbin

In my install of Redhat, cvs exists in /usr/bin, so go look for it there.

Depends on which install options he did.

If he did custom->everything -- he should have it.

If he did server / workstation -- he may not.

If he did custom and didn't include programming tools, he may not.
