Hey Griffin, It is definitely there and is executable. We tried simply running in the command line the same syntax described in gen_prog_files right from the directory with mkbof - still same error. I mentioned that we did need to use the gmake fix described, not sure if the executable that was built is just not compatible with the Ubuntu specs. I am a bit out of my expertise there.
We still have Ubuntu set up and wouldn't mind getting to the bottom of it, but have started to push forward with a RHEL build to sync up with others and minimize the occurrence of completely unique errors. --Laura On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 2:18 AM, Griffin Foster <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Laura, the line './gen_prog_files: line 3: ./mkbof: No such file or > directory' in your error log suggests that mkbof is missing, which is > pretty odd.
