First things first:

PLEASE don't send HTML mails to the list - thanks!


Second things second:

PLEASE set your mail program to wrap lines at about 72 characters!

Both points together make for much easier reading and hence more
chances for an answer in this (and other) forum(s). Thank you!


With that out of the way, let's see:

Ok, so according to rpm, the packages are properly installed. What you
don't mention is: What do you mean by "when I click that"? What do you
click? An executable? The directory?

Also, there are a couple of questions the answer to which might help
in helping you:

- Do you see any error messages?
- Have you tried to run whatever you "clicked on" from the command
  line? You might see error messages if you do so, hence, this can be
  valuable information!
- Does the documentation say anything about paths you need to set? If
  it does, have you done so?

Please provide as much information about your problem as possible,
otherwise noone will be able to help you.

Regards,

Thomas
