Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 and executables that don't.
Well, that was just it. I installed sixpack and this proceeded OK, with the executable being installed in /usr/local/bin. This is in my path. I then tried running it but I kept getting no such file or directory. I then did a which bib (the sixpack app) and it was correctly identified as being in /usr/local/bin. I checked it's perms and they were correct. I changed to the /usr/local/bin directory and tried to run it from there, ./bib and this gave the same message about no such file... I also checked to make sure the file was the correct size and it was. The file was in /usr/local/bin, it was executable, it had correct perms, /usr/local/bin is in my path, and the file was not found. Finally, I tried reinstalling it and, for whatever reason (fortunately) it worked this time round. This has happened with a few other non-rpms too. I do not recall having this happen with any rpms but I may be mistaken. The other thing is, some of the tarballs I installed were the exact, unchanged tarballs that installed and worked perfectly under 7.2 (which had mostly been upgraded to 8.0, by the way).

I have no idea if that package will fix it, it may be that the same _type_ of problem exists. Hoyt
