Hi

It appears that the package installs the bouml executable in /usr/bin/bouml (per http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/bouml/filelist)

You can check this by opening a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal) and typing the following command

which bouml

if you get a response, this is where bouml is located, you can then create a menu item for it if you want by going to system->preferences->main menu. A dialog box will appear. In the left pane, select the folder you want to put the program in, then click the new item button. type in the name you want it to show (probably bouml) and then enter the path that the which command above gave you and click ok. You should now see it in the menu that you specified.

if you don't get a response, then it wasn't installed on your path for some reason, which is a bug.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

for your information :
/usr/bin/bouml is a shell script setting PATH environment variable adding /usr/lib/bouml/, and calling /usr/lib/bouml/bouml
/usr/lib/bouml/bouml is the bouml executable, plug-out executables are also present in /usr/lib/bouml/

you must call /usr/bin/bouml rather than /usr/lib/bouml/bouml, else bouml will not find plug-out executables when you will ask for code generation or other

best regards and happy modeling

Bruno
