Executable Not Found From /usr/local/bin

Hi,

I installed ghostscript via yum package manager. Later I wanted a newer version of ghostscript and compiled it from source. "make install" placed the gs executable file under /usr/local/bin/gs. This works if I run the command with absolute path, but if try to run gs, the shell will output

"-bash: /usr/bin/gs: No such file or directory"

if I echo the path variable it will display

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

If i run whereis it will give me the correct path
gs: /usr/local/bin/gs

How do I make it work so that typing "gs" will run the executable file from the /usr/local/bin/gs?

(I am using Centos 6)

Thanks.

.o: File Not Recognized: File Format Not Recognized When Compiling

Hello,

I am working on a board (sbc6000x with at91sam9261 micro, linux 2.6.24 to be precise) and having some fun making script i wanted to make real application.
The board is coming with a cross compilation toolchain. When trying to make a simple "hello world" executable to print on the terminal there is no problem.
I open my terminal, give the path of the compiler, cd into the folder where my .c file is and then i type :
Code:
arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c

Which create my executable "hello" and this one is working. But like i said, this program only played with the terminal.

The board is starting with a script calling another executable which use the lcd display, i have the source of this executable. My idea was to look at what was in the source of this application (lots of folders and files) in order to understand how it was working. I wanted to test the toolchain on the source (with the makefile) to see if i was able to generate an executable from a application with folderS/fileS but when i try to "make" it i have this error.

In my understanding this is an object file but aside from that i don't see why it would not works.

Thank you for your future answers !

Check Status

I am writing a script to check whether a "sysinfo" is installed in a system or not. sysinfo is a tool that gives information about the system. Its is installed in /usr/local/bin. so at CLI when I type sysinfo, it will display output.

#!/bin/bash
sysinfo=`/usr/local/bin/sysinfo`
echo "$sysinfo"
if [ "$?" = 0 ];then
echo "sysinfo installed"
else
echo "Please install sysinfo"
fi

Concept is, I run the command if it is present, it will show output and exit status of command is 0 else it is not installed. But it is not working as expected. Any thoughts , idea, suggestion.

What Does The "T" Mean When You List File Permissions W/ Ls -l

I have a directory w/ a file that I created using:
Code:
fd = open("file", O_CREAT);

The file turned out to be executable. When I did a 'ls -l' on the directory w'/ that file it has a "T" at the end of the permissions where the executable bit would be set for the "other" group.

How To Copy File From Remote Host To Local Host Then Delete From Remote Host

I have an expect script to SSH to a remote host and obtain some user inputs and information about the server/network configuration. The responses are saved in a text file that I then need to copy to my local host so that I can read the lines into variables for use in the parent shell script.

Is there a way to do this without needing to enter the username and password for the local host to use function scp? I have tried the following in my expect script to no avail:
Code:
spawn scp $usr@$host:$flnm .
expect {
	-re "(.*)assword:" { 
		send -s "$pswd\r"
	}
}

I have also tried to directly scp the file and enter the username and password to try to debug the issue, and that doesn't work either:
Code:
spawn scp file.txt user@host:file.txt
expect {
	-re "(.*)assword:" {
		send -s "password\r"
	}
	"you sure you want to continue connecting" {
		send -s "yes\r"
		exp_continue
	}
}

In both scenarios I have used exp_internal 1, and there are no errors. But I do not end up with the file on my local host.

Following the copy, I would like to delete the file from the remote host. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

First of all thank you for making me a part of this forum.

I found a similar thread in this forum as well to solve the above problem by using "apt-get install honeyd" but didnt quite worked for me.

I tried researching but couldnt find any solutions. Moreover, I am really a newbie at Kali Linux and other debians as well.

How To Run An Application After The Boot ?

Hi, i know this could seems like a "simple" question but after a lot fo try i can't seems to make it works, i am stuck on this. I am working on a sbc6000x board, linux 2.6.24, an embedded system.

I am working on a pretty nice project which when called like this run perfectly :
Code:
cd /bin
./apps

(/bin/apps don't works, it must be ./apps from the directory)

After searching a little about the startup i learned about rc.local and created it in /etc/init.d, rc.local look like this :

Code:
#!bin/sh
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#

cd /bin
./apps
cd

Sadly it seems it is never called. I was thinking about maybe add cd /bin, /.apps to the end of the etc/profile but i don't know if profile can run command aside from simple scripts call.

Does anyone has an idea on why this don't work or on how i could do this ?

Bash: Javac: Command Not Found???

I'm new to linux but I use linux a little at school and by connecting through a shell at home. Anyways, I just installed linux a little while ago and I opened a shell and tried to compile some java code by going to the directory of the code and typing "javac someCode.java" like I do at school but it says the command is not found.

I previously had installed the java runtime environment and I just went to go and try to install the java development kit but it says it was already installed.

Is there some sort of path I need to set for the shell to look for the java compiler? Thanks in advance.

Edit:
I have added aliases to my .cshrc file at school and I just found a bashrc file and csh.cshrc file in the /etc folder. Sorry, I'm really new to all of this. Anyways, I'm geussing I have to edit the bash file? Can anyone point me to a good tutorial of scripting for these files???

Sudo Is Can Not Find Program / Path Related Issues

I am toying around with a LFS system and I am suddenly having trouble with sudo not finding binaries in the standard superuser only binary dirs (/sbin /usr/sbin). I am using sudo version 1.8.10p3. The sudoers file parses correctly and I did not modify except to allow users in the wheel group to be able use sudo to call any command. So I imaging something is wrong with the $PATH variable but I am not sure on what it is.

"make Install" In A Custom Directory ?

hi,

Because i am cross compiling busybox for an arm board and can't install directy busybox on it (it don't have apt-get/sudo/make) i tried to compile busybox with arm-linux-gcc and "make" it in a custom directory with /usr/ /bin/ sbin/ this way i could copy paste the folder and the exe in a clean root and transfert this root to my board.

Sadly i don't seems to be able to change the installation patch.
i tried with :
Code:
make install PREFIX=/home/blabla1/blabla2/blabla3

but when going into the blabla3 folder i find no file (/usr/ /bin/ and /sbin/ are present because i created them myself).

./configure can't be used because the file don't exist.

Any idea on how i could change the installation patch ?
