I've been a member of the list for several months and I've played around =
with Linix a bit longer than that. But now I'm seeing something on a =
new install that I just don't understand.
I can't get a file to execute by typing its name in a Bash shell.
I have Suse 8.0 installed on a system with a 1900 XT AMD processor. I =
downloaded setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar and then =
unpacked it with a tar -xf command.
the file unpacked the executable, setiathome. But when I change to the =
right subdirectory in a bash shell and type the name of the file, I get =
a "bash: setiathome : command not found" . =20
I have done this before and and it worked fine. But not this time. I =
don't understand why it is not working. What am I missing?
