MPRIME executable 'command not found'

[rx7350]

Why do I get this error message?

randy@randy-desktop:~$ pwd
/home/randy
randy@randy-desktop:~$ ls -al mprime
-rwxrwxrwx 1 randy randy 4015796 2005-08-09 13:01 mprime
randy@randy-desktop:~$ mprime -m
bash: mprime: command not found
randy@randy-desktop:~$


The executable is obviously there, and I changed the permissions to 777, thinking it may be an access issue.

./mprime -m

You need to specify the path e.g. the current directory: "./"

If you type "$PATH" you'll see what directories your system searches for executable binaries.

I started the first instance with' ./mprime -d' after using the -m switch to set it up, including setting the affinity to cpu0.
I know about the '-An' switch, but when I try to start a second instance I get

randy@randy-desktop:~$ ./mprime -dA1
Another mprime is already running!

I tried to set up the 2nd instance with './mprime -mA1' but it looked like I was editing the files for the first instance.

Also, I didn't see any option 'Start at bootup'

Hmm. Please may we have a sticky in the linux section explaining how to start mprime or LLR with either "crontab" or "rc.local" or this if rc.local does not exist on your system -- for Suse Linux -- plus instructions on how to run several instances of mprime on multiprocessor machines?

randy@randy-desktop:~$ ls -al mprime

In order to keep "your home" directory tidy, create a directory called "mprime_dir":

mkdir ~/mprime_dir

and use the "mv" command to move the mprime stuff into it:

mv ~/mprime ~/mprime_dir

etc...

(where "~/" stands for your home directory)
