Re: [ferret_users] How to make Ferret running?

["Yu, Hao-Cheng" <danish.url@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Use ferret under csh probably can solve this problem.
You can add source command in /etc/csh.cshrc
Like (assume ferret_paths installed at /usr/local/ferret):

# Adding Ferret path
source /usr/local/ferret/ferret_paths

Then change shell to csh, ferret should work now.

Dear ferret users,
I recently install Ferret on my Ubuntu  Edgy ( 6.10).
I have follow all which say in installation guide.

But when I am trying to use it I have the following error message:

 The FERRET environment has not been properly set up.
  (The environment variable FER_DIR is not defined)

  Have you executed "source your_system_path/ferret_paths" ?

When I type  source your_system_path/ferret_paths
This error appear

bash: ferret_paths: line 89: syntax error: unexpected end of file

The contain of my  ferret_paths i given by the following:

# ferret_paths_template    11/91 & 4/92
# Template for setting up the FERRET environment
# updated for FERRET version 3 2/93
# Mod 10.93 *jd* fix for SunOS LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# If you are installing FERRET for the first time at your site we ask

# Modify this to suit your system and place the result as file `ferret_paths'
# in another directory set up to hold login initialization scripts.
# `/usr/local' is the suggested choice.

# The environment variable FER_DIR should be the pathname of

# The environment variable FER_DSETS should be the pathname of
# the directory named `fer_dsets' you created to install the FERRET program.

# !!!! You must customize the following line:
# This directory will contain FERRET demonstration data files (30+ Mbytes)
     setenv FER_DSETS /home/.fer_dsets

   if ( $PATH !~ *ferret* ) then
        echo appending ferret path

   else

What can I do to correct this error?
