This is a generic OS (ish) problem that is part of the typical Path

You likely need to either set or update PATH and or LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Has anyone done an audit report in Crystal?
The auditing is great, however, it is hard to follow when you are
looking at it on the Form. I wish they had done it as separate
entries into a Form instead of a diary field.
The main problem is not creating the group, but allowing people who don't have
