Thread: Problem in Running SAC

Maybe some of this will help:

1. Make sure your .bash_profile is loaded. Type "echo $SACAUX" to see if the
variable is known. If it's not then your bash_profile isn't loaded or the
syntax is wrong. You can load it manually: "source ~/.bash_profile", no need
to reboot.
My syntax looks like this:
export SACAUX='/seismo/sac/aux' (notice the '...')
2. Also make sure the path is ok: "echo $PATH", but this should be alright,
because it seems to find the sac binary.
What version are you trying to run?

Cheers,
Andreas

Dear Sir
I'm a novice user with Linux OS. I do following in Linux Redhat 9.0:
1. Extract the SAC zip, which contains aux, bin, lib and utils
folders, file in */usr/local*
2. Add following lines to *.bash_profile* file:
*- export SACAUX=/usr/local/SAC/aux*
*- export SACGRAPHICS=xwindows*
*- PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/SAC/bin*
3. Then after reboot write *sac *to execute the program.
But, the "cannot ececute binary file" massage appears.
I appreciated it very much if you could advise how can I run sac on my PC.


Thanks your assistance in advance.

Best regards
