Hi Vikram,
the .bashrc file is a file that should be in your home directory (i.e. in
/home/vm308), but since it starts with a dot (.bashrc), you may not see it if
you just type 'ls' on the command line.
Try with
ls -a
(-a means, all files, including hidden ones), you should see a bunch of
"hidden" files. They are used to store user settings for applications.
It is also possible that there is no /home/vm308/.bashrc file, in which case
you can just create an empty one using
touch /home/vm308/.bashrc
Now, with any text editor, open .bashrc and type the paths as per the
instructions. Save the file and open a new terminal.
To be sure the settings are now available to the command line, type
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
if you see a /usr/local/lib/vmtk among the paths returned by the command above,
then you should be all set and vmtk should work.
Let me know if this is ok for you.
Best regards
Luca
