Description of problem: ferror requires absolute path to executable; doesn't use PATH Following example from ferror man page: EXAMPLE ferror -e "No such file or directory" -- ls fake and omitting the path, it fails to find the executable, this is: [david@brick ~]$ ferror -e "No such file or directory" -- ls fake Error: open: No such file or directory (file /home/david/ls) Specifying full path to exe works: [david@brick ~]$ ferror -e "No such file or directory" -- /bin/ls fake Tracing 7233.7233 Tool would be much more usable if it looked in PATH, allowing you to omit the absolute location of the exe. As it is, the example in the manpage fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): frysk-0.0.1.2008.02.29.rh1-1.fc8 How reproducible: 100%
My fix: $ ferror -- ls loop.c Tracing 2485.2485 loop.c
