[xcrysden] cannot execute Xcrysden

[Sebastijan Peljhan]

Hi, Elie!

If bash prompts you that something is not found and can't execute
command probably means, that the directory of executable is not written
it $PATH variable. You have to include your $XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR into $PATH
if xcConfigure doesn't do that automatically. 

You should find something like that in your ~/.bashrc file:

XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR=/home/you/xcrysden/topdir
XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH=/home/your/xcrys_tmp
export XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH
PATH="$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR:$PATH:$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/scripts:
$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/util"

You can also try to run xcrysden form $XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR directory
using ./xcrysden.


Cheers,

Sebastijan

inproved.
