Dear assistant,
I would like to ask you about help. On your web site you mention Xmovie as one of the tools for visualization Lammps files. I tried to use “xmovie” command but it does not work. I submitted it from directory which contains xmovie but it would not recognize it as a command.
So please, can you advise me what I am doing wrong and how exactly I can use xmovie.
Thank you for you help, Andrea Scott
andrea,
this is not a lammps question but a unix question.
Dear assistant,
I would like to ask you about help. On your web site you mention Xmovie as
one of the tools for visualization Lammps files. I tried to use "xmovie"
command but it does not work. I submitted it from directory which contains
xmovie but it would not recognize it as a command.
that is the expected behavior of a unix/linux command shell.
it only automatically finds commands in directories that are
listed in the variable $PATH. the DOS/Windows behavior of
giving the current working directory precedence over $PATH
is actually a very bad design. if the current directory has an
executable that has the same name as a system tool, the
system behavior may be unexpected.
try ./xmovie instead.
Did you build it first with "make" ?
