Here's another one for you Linux experts! In my continuing attempts
to get a linux running for Arachne, I've now succeeded in getting
Slackware to go. Even X runs now, thanks to answers I've got from this
list - thanks, chaps!
Now I've hit another snag on the path to internetting. I wanted to
install Unixtree (apparently the best Xtree lookalike for Linux). I've
got the tar.gz file and uncompressed it into a directory /xtg off my
own directory /home/gdp but all I get when I try and run its
executable (xt) is this message:
bash: /home/gdp/xtg/xt: No such file or directory
If I do 'ls -l', there's xt (in green with an * beside it) as large
as life. I've tried adding /home/gdp/xtg to my PATH and all that, but
it doesn't make any difference. There are a few other executables
(dispkeys, dispchrs, etc.) that get installed into the /xtg directory
and none of those will run either. I get the same message from bash.
The permissions are set to -rwxr-xr-x for all these executables, so I
assume that I ought to be able to run them.
None of my Linux books seem to cover this. so I'm obviously doing
something extremely stupid - but what??
Please can someone shed some light before this machine hurtles out of
a first-floor window. I'm desperate!
Thanks in advance,
Gerald.
