Can't find or start mutate after successful install #81

Closed plagasul closed 9 years ago

plagasul commented 9 years ago

Hello, I am on a lenovo thinkpad t440 with Linux Mint 'Rafaela', Cinnamon edition.

I successfully added the repository and installed mutate and its dependencies through CLI.

After that I can't find mutate through mint menu app launcher, or through 'which' command, neither manually under /usr/bin/.

I tried rebooting and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling through software manager, but this did not solve the problem: I could not find the program neither.

I've seen a closed issue which refers to this same problem, with about three people declaring to experience it. But although the issue is closed there is no reference to a cause or solution.

What would you recommend?

Thank you

Update.

If if try to 'find' Mutate, files appear in the following folders

./var/cache/apt/archives/mutate_2.4-b~trusty~NoobsLab.com_amd64.deb
./var/lib/dpkg/info/mutate.md5sums
./var/lib/dpkg/info/mutate.postrm
./var/lib/dpkg/info/mutate.list

./var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_mutate_ppa_ubuntu_dists_trusty_Release
./usr/include/boost/python/detail/copy_ctor_mutates_rhs.hpp
./usr/share/icons/mutate.png
./usr/share/applications/Mutate.desktop
./home/username/.config/Mutate
./root/.config/Mutate
./etc/apt/sources.list.d/mutate-ppa-trusty.list

As you can see there is a Mutate.desktop file, and within it there is 'Exec=mutate'

Nevertheless, Mutate does NOT appear under the cinnamon menu, and there is no such executable command as 'mutate' that I can find in the system.

Any hints?

Update,

This is the full output of 'dpkg -L Mutate'

Although I am quite new to Linux I understand there should be a 'mutate' folder under 'usr/share/doc', but there is not.

Thanks

The solution was to install build-essential package before attempting to install Mutate.
