#38544: Kate cannot be launched from the command line -----------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: rob.edgerley@… | Owner: nicos@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: kate | -----------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by nicos@…): KDE ports usually install binaries as application bundles in the macports application directory, so there should be an application bundle in /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/ (if you use default settings) that can be double-clicked on. [[BR]] So, if there is really a need to launch kate through the Terminal instead of through the Finder, running {{{ /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kate.app/Contents/MacOS/kate }}} should work. Additionally, I think the command {{{ sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE }}} is not needed. You can also refer to [wiki:KDE Installing KDE] for details. Does this answer the question, or is there an issue I am missing ? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38544#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
