im trying to run smsbomber but i keep getting this error msg.

 

Cannot find the w3c command line tool!

Download it from: http://www.w3.org/ComLine/

Make sure it is in your PATH as well

 

i installed the w3c command line tool rpm, and then built the source still same error message, what the hell is the god damn PATH

Maybe the path didn't get updated, and you need to either logout or process the /etc/profile with:

 

source /etc/profile

 

Logging out is better, but you can do this temporarily to see if it works. Reason is that if you close the console prompt, and open again, you'd have to rerun the above command to update your environment.

tried logging out and in.. nothing

 

[root@localhost smsbomber]# source /etc/profile

bash: TMOUT: readonly variable

PATH is the group of directories that will be automatically searched for an executable file. If an executable is in PATH, you don't need to give the entire path to the executable; you just type the executable name at the command prompt. To get a listing of all directories included in PATH, run:

 

$ echo $PATH

 

If whatever executable was installed by that rpm is not in a directory in PATH, you have a problem. To find out where w3c is installed run:

 

$ rpm -ql <full name of rpm>

 

which should list all the files installed by the package. From there you can get the location of w3c. If it's not in PATH, you can create a link to w3c in /usr/bin and that should fix it.
