TheNovice Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I am going through the RUTE manual and I was trying the bc command (or dc after some search) but it is not working. Anyone knows why? Thanks TheNovice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I guess you are either trying to use bc as an ordinary user when you need to be root; or they are not installed. We would need to know how you are using them and what errors you are getting, to help you further... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNovice Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I did try as root too but no to avail. I guess that they are not installed. Any way to check that? Thanks TheNovice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
