Application showing installed but still not showing up in dashboard

Question

I have faced this problem a lot of time. I have installed an app from sw center but its still not showing up in dashboard. Like I installed GCC and its showing as installed but not getting how to open it. So tell me how to solve this problem for once and for all.

All program do not have a graphical interface. It does not make sense to have a launchers for programs like that.

gcc is one of these programs.

You can invoke them from the terminal. Start the terminal and start the program from there.

go back an click on More-info button in sw center (in your case you will find it in installed->#categories#->yourApp) to see if there is dependics libraries for graphical interface
