even if you've made xcec executable, there's another thing that's
not that obvious. If you try to run xcec (or any other executable) from
the
directory it's in, and you just type the name of the exe (just like
this:
xcec), your system might not find the path, because it doesn't search in
the directory you're in. This behaviour is quite normal to UNIX, the
reason
is that the PATH environment variable isn't set to include the local
direc-
tory (unlike DOS and the like). So if it still doesn't work, type:
./xcec
in the directory where xcec is located (the "./" stands for the local
direc-
tory).
NOTE: This behaviour is intended due to security measures. You will like
it.
If you don't, change your $PATH settings. |
