Antony,<br><br>A few others had the same problem without a solution. I suggest using the latest package (FWTools 3.x) from <a href="http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/">http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/</a> or better yet, use a repository as suggested in <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries#Linux">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries#Linux</a><br>

Ok, <br><br>I did it again in my /home/user directory and again I cannot install it. <br>In the FWTools-2.0.6 directory there is a bin folder that contains a file named 'python'. I am attaching it in case you want to check if it is the correct file. <br>
<br>thanks again!<br><br><i><font face="Times New Roman">Antony Chrysochoou</font></i><br><br><br><br><div><hr>Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:14:04 +0530<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>Subject: Re: [FWTools] bin/python: not found<br>

<br>IMHO, It's not prudent to do this kind of stuff in the root folder. <br>Try your home directory. /home/<your_userid><br>

Hi,<br><br>thanks for replying, i used a simple unzip command >tar xzvf ...<br>and I do not see any error happening when extracting files..Is there a special way to see if there was an error? I think it would show it if a file was not extracted properly..<br>
I downloaded and copied the zipped file in my server /<root> and then run a tar xzvf command to extract the files. But I cannot see anything wrong happenign in these steps. Do you think something else is going wrong? I can always redo the whole thing.<br>
<br>Thanks! <br><font color="#888888"><br><i><font face="Times New Roman">Antony Chrysochoou</font></i><br></font><div><br><br><br></div><div><div><hr>Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:42:06 +0530<br>Subject: Re: [FWTools] bin/python: not found<br>

Hi,<br><br>I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong email, but I haven't found a link for a forum or discussion interface yet...<br>I downloaded and unzipped the FWtools but when I cd to the directory and type ./install.sh, it throws an error<br>
./install.sh: 33: bin/python: not found<br><br>This is weird because python is installed and runs fine. Have you come accross this error before?<br><br>Thank you for your time and effort.<br><br>Kind regards,<br><font color="#888888"><br>
