Trying to run texindy to create the index for a book kept failing. The reason was that /usr/bin/texindy was a perl script, not a link to the script in /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texindy.pl. Permissions of that script are 755.
I deleted /usr/bin/texindy and replaced it with a softlink with permissions these perms: # ll texindy lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Dec 2 11:41 texindy -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texindy.pl When I try to run the script (as a user) the response is: $ texindy biota-to-set-wq-standards.idx -bash: /usr/bin/texindy: Permission denied What am I doing incorrectly?
