Please read https://github.com/ginggs/gelemental/blob/master/INSTALL :

By default, 'make install' installs the package's commands under '/usr/local/bin', include files under '/usr/local/include', etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than '/usr/local' by giving 'configure' the option '--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an absolute file name.

When I try to open gelemental: Could not display "/usr/local/bin/gelemental" There is no application installed for shared library files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?

artisticfox8 commented 3 years ago

When I select YES, gelemental does not open

ginggs commented 3 years ago

You should be able to run gelemental from the directory where it is installed, i.e.

/usr/local/bin$ ./gelemental

When I use this, I get make: unrecognized option '--prefix=/home/artisticfox/Desktop/gelemental_tweak'

--prefix is an option for configure, not for make.

./gelemental

This works on Linux Mint but does not on Debian.

user@debian:/usr/local/bin$ ./gelemental
./gelemental: error while loading shared libraries: libelemental.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
