why executable file 'readin' not found but it is there

[Phil Waclawski]

A couple of things that might be the issue, or at least reasonable guesses.
1. Something in readin  is trying to access a resource that does not exist
on this machine
2. permissions are set wrong on readin (needs to be x  etc)
3. Something like ACL rules were set on readin
