How to truely install a tar.gz file on Linux - how to manage manually-installed (or standalone) applications? Thanks for the update! Certainly does. I'm guessing xxx.desktop generally works for GNome. What do you know about using update-alternatives to set the path? |

How to truely install a tar.gz file on Linux - how to manage manually-installed (or standalone) applications? I've sorta formulated a better question - how should I manage my manually installed applications? Like Eclipse and Firefox, which generally run without complex dependencies (so I can set it up myself and download the package). They work standalone, as your or someone else mentioned, but I should I keep track of these apps, instead of leaving them all around my file system? (See updated question) |

How to truely install a tar.gz file on Linux - how to manage manually-installed (or standalone) applications? Thanks for the detailed response. I looked into readmes, but I decided I didn't want to do something different each time. So after a lot more research, attempts, and frustration, I came up with a more concrete question/specification - see updated post. |

How to truely install a tar.gz file on Linux - how to manage manually-installed (or standalone) applications? It's 3.5 . They have an updated version on their site, I want to use it. I found this askubuntu.com/questions/14219/… on creating installation files, although it seems more like a developer thing than a user thing. I'll let you know how that goes, but if you can recommend a solution it'd be greatly appreciated (since I don't think the last one was perfectly applicable here) |

How to truely install a tar.gz file on Linux - how to manage manually-installed (or standalone) applications? @m0nhawk Can't always find a .deb file? Like on Eclipse's download page it's just tar.gz . Unless I'm completely missing it |

Gedit cannot save in shared folder (Virtualbox) No... this is an issue with gedit and virtualbox. Google it - it's something to do with the way gedit saves temporary files and renames it when saving. |
