Recently I purchased a used Thinkpad T460 and I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 20.1 that works ... except:
I also installed a "C" program called 'readin' that I have used successfully for more than 30 years on several Linux installs; but it does not work on on this Mint 20 install. Instead, this error appears: "/home/joe/bin/readin: No such file or directory" That is weird because 'readin' is actually present in my directory: /home/joe/bin I have uploaded copies of the applicable files here: *** https://vsiq.com/data/count/ *** In one of the files named: why-no-such.pdf I have tried to explain and demo the problem. Someone suggested replacing 'readin' with "read -n1" and that works in the small "count" example ... however, it does not work in most of the other important shell script applications in which I need 'readin' to work. So the question remains, why that error message appears when the named file is actually present in /home/joe/bin? === --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
