[saurabh rathore <rohitsrb2020@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Russ

The problem still persist. I created the symbolic link by finishing the installation by using "s" for bash. then I add the path in .bashrc file but still I am not able to open ferret.

Hi,

The problem is that the files are not extracted into the correct ocation (or at least not where the documentation says they will be)

=======

• % mkdir ferret
% cd ferret

  This guide will use the name $FER_DIR to refer to this directory (`/usr/local/ferret' -- or your choice, if different).

• The file `fer_executables.tar.gz' holds the Ferret support directories and associated files as well as the binary file and shared-object external functions files. To install the file
  

  % tar xzf $GET_LOCATION/fer_executables.tar.gz
  
  ...or, with a file from GitHub,
  
  %tar xzf $GET_LOCATION/ferret-7.3-RHEL6-64.tar.gz

  where $GET_LOCATION is the directory you put the gzipped tar file in when getting it via ftp. Be sure you're in the $FER_DIR directory when you run this command. When that's done, running `ls' in that directory should give the following listing:

% ls -1F bin/ contrib/ examples/ ext_func/ go/ ppl/



=============================================

BUT

When I do this

xwing-hf% mkdir ferret
xwing-hf% cd ferret

xwing-hf% set GET_LOCATION = /home/fiedler/Downloads

xwing-hf% set FER_DIR = `xwing-hf% set FER_DIR = `pwd`

xwing-hf% tar xzf $GET_LOCATION/ferret-7.4.4-RHEL6-64.tar.gz

Bu t when I look at the listing

xwing-hf% ls
ferret-7.4.4-RHEL6-64/

and

xwing-hf% ls ferret-7.4.4-RHEL6-64/
bin/  contrib/    examples/  ext_func/  fer_environment.tar.gz  fer_executables.tar.gz  go/  ppl/

In other words everything has been put into the directory below where they are supposed to be. There's also an extra copy of the tar files there for some reason.

If you specify the location of FER_DIR to be /usr/local/ferret/ferret-7.4.4-RHEL6-64 at the installation prompt then all should be fine.

Alternatively make links to the directories from the place where they are supposed to be before running the Finstall program.

Cheers,

Russ

Dear Ferreters

I am running into installation problem of ferret 7.4.4 RHEL7. it seems I have done everything correctly and I issued the source command as well where i install ferret_paths file. However, I am not able to open ferret as ferret -nojnl. I am getting an error like this

The program 'ferret' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install ferret

source /usr/local/ferret/ferret_paths                   this is my ferret_paths location

I dont know where is the problem ???

Please help.

Cheers, saurabh
