Re: LINUX (RedHat 7.1 - built with g77/gcc v2.96)

["Kevin O'Brien" <Kevin.M.O'Brien@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello -

The reason that you received the "command not found" error when you 
typed the "ferret" command is that there wasn't a link in $FER_DIR/bin 
from ferret_v560 to ferret.   I have fixed this problem in the 
executable tar files.   You can either download the Ferret executable 
tar file again, or run the following command in your $FER_DIR/bin directory:

   ln -s ferret_v560 ./ferret

If you have any questions, let me know.

Sorry for the hassle -

Kevin
