executable problem
Hi, I've just compiled a FORTRAN program but I am unable to run the executable, because bash: qhdiv0.e: command not found. I think this is because the present directory it is not in the PATH. Please, I need to know: a) where is the file where the PATH is defined b) what should I write in it I am running bash... Thanks in advance! -- ___ Marcelo Chiapparini DFT-IF/UERJ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: executable problem
Hi, if you want to run a program in your current directory, you should type: ./program-to-run ./ forces bash to look in the current directory. If you want to add this to your path, you can edit .bashrc in your homedir. Add a line like: PATH=$PATH:./ but do not catch me on this one. My bash is not that well. Do no forget to log in again to activate it.

I think MC this is because the present directory it is not in the PATH. You should run './qhdiv0.e', then. This explicitly includes the location of the binary (the current directory), which avoids user confusion. Putting . into PATH is considered by many to be a poor idea. MC Please, I need to know: MC a) where is the file where the PATH is defined MC b) what should I write in it PATH is generally set in .bashrc or .bash_profile. To add a personal binary directory to the path, you might add 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' to an appropriate one of those files. See bash(1) (or archives of debian-user, if you're so inspired) for the difference. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.
