Gnome 2.14 Desktop launcher

[McDougall, Marshall (FSH)]

 by cutting and pasting "cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh" you are
asking it to perform 2 commands. Try changing your launcher to:

/root/Desktop/PCB/src/pcbtest.sh
 
And see what happens.

Subject: Gnome 2.14 Desktop launcher

I just downloaded and installed FC5. I downloaded, built and installed
two 
apps, PCB and XCircuit. All went well. But neither of the apps installed
an 
icon on the Gnome desktop or in the menu bar.

To run the PCB program manually I open a terminal window and do:

cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh

That works.

Then I right click on the desktop.
  - Create launcher.
    Name: PCB_Test
    Command: cd /root/Desktop/PCB/src;./pcbtest.sh
    Type: Application
  and click OK.

When I double click on the launcher I get an error dialog:

   There was an error launching the application
   Details: Failed to execute the child process
   "cd" no such file or directory

I cut and pasted the command right out of the terminal window so I know
it 
works.

What kind of magic do I need to wrap around my command to get it to
launch 
the script?

TIA
