Re: namd and Fedora14

This is very unlikely a Fedora problem and more likely a problem with your shell's path. Check your path environment variable to insure /usr/bin is listed in your path. If so, check that the namd/charmrun binaries or links to namd and charmrun exit in /usr/bin.

To check your path:
        In bash: echo $PATH

        In csh or tcsh: echo $PATH ; echo $path

To create a link, it's best you consult the manual: man ln. But you can create a link via: ln -s /path/to/namddir/namd2 /usr/bin/namd2

Best,
Chris
