No such file or directory
 
I copied g95 executable under /usr/bin which is clearly in my PATH. When I type g95, it says "bash: /home/username/bin/g95: No such file or directory". Why doesn't it look for somewhere else that is in my PATH?

EDIT: Sorry, disregard my post previous post. Obviously it's got nothing to do with your problem. I answered without reading it properly.

It's possible that '/home/username/bin/g95' is hard-coded in the g95 binary. If it is, this might do the trick:

cd /home/username/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/g95 g95

This will create a soft-link in the /home/username/bin directory to the g95 binary installed in the /usr/bin directory.

Now, try to run g95 and see if this did the trick.

Good luck.

Your shell might have hashed the location of the file and so could be expecting to find it in its original position.
'hash' is a bash builtin. As the shell finds commands along the search path it remembers the found location in an internal hash table. The next time you enter a command the shell uses the value in its hash table instead of searching the path again.
Code:
# To see your 'hash' table:-
hash

# If 'g95' is on the hash table you can remove it with:-
hash -d g95

I guess I didn't give it an absolute path when I created the g95 link. Maybe that's why the link was highlighted red. Thanks

Yep. That's it exactly.
