command not found error message
 

Hi,

I have an executable program that I'm trying to run, but I keep getting a message stating, "command not found." The permissions on the program are -rwxrwxr-x and it still doesn't work. I have no idea of what else to do to run the program.

What is the exact error message, the name of the program, and the command line you're using?

if you're running 'example' and get:
bash: example: command not found

then the shell doesn't know where the program is because it's not in a directory mentioned in $PATH - use a specific pathname
(e.g if example is in the current dir, try ./example instead)

What is the name of the program? Is it possibly a script referring to some other program that is missing?

Running program "./foo" with command
gives you a listing of files it tries to access when it is ran.

Type in the full path to the program as in
/bin/ls
or if you are in the directory it is in put a . and a / in front of it
./program

To find your PATH
echo $PATH
