Re: [ferret_users] Installation problem

[Ryo Furue <furue@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gopal,

I already add the path in bashrc. and give ferret in terminal and output is:
bash: /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret: No such file or directory.

If you show the outputs from the following two commands

$ ls -l /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret

$ ls -l /usr/local/ferret/bin/

we might be able to see where the problem is.

Analysis (which may well be wrong):

When you typed "ferret" on the bash command line, bash complains

/usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret: No such file or directory.

How did this happen?  Bash did find the "file" /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret, but that "file" is actually a symbolic link to the real Ferret executable:

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/ferret

 . . . /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret -> ferret_v7.2

Your  bash complains because the target of the link /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret_v7.2 doesn't exist.

Hope this helps,

Ryo
