Re: Problem with ferret_paths

[James Caveen <james_caveen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In addition to the changes proposed by Jaison Kurian, you should modify
the line 

export PATH="$PATH $FER_DIR/bin"

to 

export PATH="$PATH:$FER_DIR/bin"  #(add a colon as separator)

Hi Francisco Pastor,
                       "bash shell" don't like/accept "csh" syntax. 
Finstall makes "ferret_paths" appropriate for "csh" shell. That is why
your bash shell is complaining about the syntax.
 
   Please use the "ferret_paths_bash_template" in ferret/bin directory.
Do copy this file to /usr/local (not to /usr/local/ferret ..as 
recommented by developers) as ferret_paths_bash.  Then

    change line 33 to 
             export FER_DIR=/usr/local/ferret

   & line 40 to 
             export FER_DSETS=/usr/local/ferret/fer_dsets 

 (or the respective location) 

  then place "source /usr/local/ferret/ferret_paths_bash" in .bashrc


Hope this helps 

With Regards 

Jaison
