Any suggestions? Make sure that the executable you just made in ~mcidas7.4/src is the same as the one in ~mcidas/bin: cd mcidas7.4/src ls -l ax.k ~/bin/ax.k The two files must have the same inode numbers to be the same (they will also have to be the same size). If there is any doubt, then do: rm ~/bin/ax.k ln ax.k ~/bin Tom >From address@hidden Mon May 24 14:24:51 1999 >Dear Tom, >Stupid, stupid, stupid, >I just asked such a stupid question. >I have an excuse, lets see, I was being interupted by alien >meteorologist who wanted...., ah forget it! >I forget I was user mcidas and my user mcidas will search >the bin directory first!
