Hi

Somehow the ferret executable is not on your PATH.
Your "ferret_paths" script may be missing something.
However, it looks like you know where your ferret was installed,
since you say you "run ferret directly".

Did you run the Ferret "Finstall" script to build the "ferret_paths" script?
Did you give it the right FER_DIR path (where you installed ferret)?

It may help if you send your ferret_paths script and tell where you
installed ferret.
Also, which shell are you using: bash/sh or tcsh/sh?
