os system command not found

[codicedave]

Hi all!
I installed a external program called infomap using the classical
procedure

../configure
make
sudo make install

and it works perfectly in Terminal (Os x) using both bash and tcsh
shell

admins-macbook-pro-2:~ unil$ infomap-build

Usage: infomap-build [-w working_dir] [-p param_file]
[-D var_1=val_1 ... -D var_N=val_N]
(-s single_corpus_file | -m multi_file_list)
<model_tag>


but when I call it from python using os.system or subprocess.call I
get the message "sh: infomap-build: command not found".

Do you know why?

Many thanks

Davide

What happens when you call it using the sh shell (which is not
necessarily aliased to bash)?

Possibly sh uses a different path to bash and can't find infomap-build.

in infocmp infotocap installer
indent infokey install instmodsh
indxbib infomap-build install-info instruments
info infomap-install install_name_tool
sh-3.2$ infomap-build

Usage: infomap-build [-w working_dir] [-p param_file]
[-D var_1=val_1 ... -D var_N=val_N]
(-s single_corpus_file | -m multi_file_list)
<model_tag>

sh-3.2$

I am not able to figure out why..

any idea?

Thanks

How about you give the full path to the executable? Might be that the PATH
isn't set correctly. If you installed the software by yourself, it is very
likely that it ended up in

/usr/local/bin

instead of /usr/bin, and the former might not be part of the PATH-variable.

Type "which infomap-build" from the command line to find out where
infomap-build is.

Thank you all guys

I tried to use "which" command and found it in /usr/local/bin

it seemed to work but at the end I think there is a dependency problem

now it can not find another program called by infomap-build

bin/sh: prepare_corpus: command not found
make: *** [/tmp/unil/infomap_working_dir/prova/wordlist] Error 127
