error trying to exec `as': execvp: No such file or directory
By gupton at Wed, Jul 11 2007 12:48pm |
I have downloaded gfortran and gcc and they are safely tucked into /usr/local/bin!
However, gfortran test.f (where test.f is a Hello World write statement!) gives me the above error message.
Would some kind person suggest the next step!

Re: error trying to exec `as': execvp: No such file or directory
This error usually means that gcc isn't installed. However since you have it installed in /usr/local/bin you'll want to make sure /usr/local/bin is in your default PATH. This error means that 'as' which is the assembler can't be found.
In csh/tcsh:
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/local/bin
In bash/sh:
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin
Hope that helps,
Dave

Thanks Dave,
I tried that in bash and then swapped to tcsh. No joy. So I then checked that gcc and gfortran had a bit of substance in /usr/bin --- which they do (as seen above). Is there somewhere that I should check to find the assembler?

Re: Still struggling
Hi,
I use the gcc that comes with Xcode, so it appears by default. In my case, it's located in /usr/bin:
[computer:apbs] admin% which as
/usr/bin/as
I'd check for 'as' in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin . Alternatively you may want to install gcc from Xcode, unless you need a newer gcc.
Regards,

Ok. Success!
I had already downloaded Xcode --- but I hadn't clicked on XcodeTools.mpkg
but... Oh dear ... One final (?) question
My program has, as expected, produced an `a.out' file. Normally, I type a.out and the compiled version happily runs. Now I get "Command not found".
Sorry to pester.

PATH issues
Try entering './a.out' on the command line. Most set ups don't put the current directory on the $PATH variable.
gfortran: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or dir
I unfortunately have a similar problem getting the message gfortran: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory
.
I installed the binary files and the Xcode plugins, ran the suggsted additional path commands but this did not help either. I am a first time Mac user, so may do something stupid. Cannot locate the us/local either. However the compiler part generates the normal messages , e.g. one or two warnings, so it seems to work there, but apparently fails on the next steps.
Appreciate any help.

Hi Han,
This means you don't have the default compiler tools installed (or they aren't installed properly). Presumably you've installed the full blown Xcode IDE from Apple?

/usr/bin/as
