[Slackbuilds-users] Why Might a SBo Application Look in /usr/local?
I've been running R-2.13.0 and decided to upgrade to -2.13.1. I downloaded the new scripts and source, built and upgraded the package. When I try to invoke it I see: [rshepard@salmo ~]$ R -bash: /usr/local/bin/R: No such file or directory I've no idea where to look to see where the shell is getting the wrong location. I've been using the SlackBuild packages for several versions now and haven't before come across this issue. Any ideas?

I've been using the SlackBuild packages for several versions now and haven't before come across this issue. It's a bit difficult to help with so few details about your system and what you did to build the new R. I can tell you that I did this same upgrade today on a Slackware 13.37 x86_64 system, downloading and building the package from slackbuilds.org with sbopkg, and R 2.13.1 works fine, and the R executable is in /usr/bin, where you'd expect it to be. Any ideas- To try to help you, I'd be interested in knowing the architecture and version of the Slackware system you are running and seeing the result of ls -l /var/adm/packages/R* cat /var/adm/packages/R-2.13.1* hash and echo $PATH from the instance of bash giving you the error would be useful. /Don Allen Rich ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/ ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/

Since I installed R from the SBo packages over the past few years I've no idea why I did this nor do I know why R ran (from /usr/bin) until today. I am suitably embarrassed. Mea culpa!

Well, you should be; no one else has ever done anything that dumb before, certainly not me :-) (Believe me, I really am kidding!) For years, I've talked about writing a book about the various strange and wonderful ways we screw ourselves with computers (not a particularly original idea). If you can stand a war story, 35+ years ago, I worked on and later ran the Tenex project at BBN. BBN was one of the key companies that built the ARPAnet (the predecessor of the Internet) and Tenex, an operating system developed by us for the DEC PDP-10, was the most common host OS on the network. One of the guys in the Tenex group wrote a backup and archiving system. The first time he ran it in production, it archived its own executable and source files. Archived files could only be read by the archiving program. Me: So should be no problem -- you have a copy of all that stuff on DECTape, right? Him: Um, no. /Don Mea culpa!
