Installed Conky - Can not find sample config file.

English Applications

So I got Conky installed from source, make and make install went through and I can run conky from the console. I can not find the sample config file in /etc/ or /root/etc or in my home directory.

Anyone else know where it could be?

Hi
Why install from source?

Did you set configure options? Else it’s probably in /usr/local for you
copy to your home directory.

Well as far as I know there is no opensuse package and I didn’t want to try and install / rig some other distro’s binary when it was just easier to type 3 commands to install it from source.

But it is in /usr/local/etc thank you. Any idea why it installed there instead of just in /etc?

That’s because you never ran the configure options eg;


./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

Always run the command;


./configure --help

To see all the options.
