 Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 9:39 am Post subject: mtr command not found |
 |
|
I upgraded yesterday to latest mtr version with the command | Code: | | emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/mtr-0.73-r1" |
and tried also to mtr-073-r2.
In both cases if I try to launch it, I get | Code: | | mtr command not found |
What's going on? Someone has this error also?
Checking now, I can use mtr as root. But not as simple user, as I always did. |

| Code: |
carin ~ # which mtr
/usr/sbin/mtr
carin ~ # |
If I run it as root, it's enough to run mtr. If I run as user | Code: | /usr/sbin/mtr
bash: /usr/sbin/mtr: Permission denied |

I tried your suggestion. It doesn't help.  |

U can change the permissions of mtr to be accesible from a normal user. I guess it's now with permissions -rws--x---. You can do | Code: | | chmod +rx /usr/sbin/mtr |
Now u will be able to run it with /usr/sbin/mtr. If you want to run it just with mtr, u can do | Code: | | ln -s /usr/sbin/mtr /usr/bin/mtr |

I am not fan of ln -s. It should work without it.
I will check later about the permissions. Can you tell me how it appears on your pc?
It worked until upgrade without problems. But I don't know if it was in sbin or in bin.
I think they have a bug. |

There seems to be a bit of discussion about this in bug 223017.

Thanks. I checked it. They claim it should be used as root. |
