I get the following:

[solovay@localhost Opera]$ file opera
opera: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, stripped

When I use csh here's what happens:

[solovay@localhost Opera]$ csh
[solovay@localhost]$ ./opera
./opera: Command not found.
[solovay@localhost]$ rehash
[solovay@localhost]$ ./opera
./opera: Command not found.

BUT when I give the command "echo $SHELL" after the csh command, I still
get /bin/bash

I'm quite mystified by all this. When I check python [which does run on my
machine] I get:

[solovay@localhost]$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
[solovay@localhost]$ file /usr/local/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1,
not stripped

Could the distinction between "stripped" and "not stripped" be causing the
problem?
