I am not sure what is going on with your system. However, the fact that "." is not in your search path is rather standard with any Linux/Unix distribution that even so much as pays "lip service" to the idea of security. Not as critical for ordinary users as for root of course, but by not including the current path in the search path you are avoiding the running of "trojan horse" programs. As a practical matter you also avoid running your own "experiemental" software when you want "standard" system commands.
This is just "swag" but it sounds as though you may not be getting an environment set up. The "conventional' way to execute the program would be "./<script-name> (again I don't think that this has anything to do with the problem you are experiencing however). If no one posts the answer to your problem then you might want to use strace. best, -bill ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
