Dear Victor, probably the causes in order of occurence are: 1. You are not using root permissions, that is why the executables cannot be installed in ../bin. 2. You have not used an editor to change your PATH variable, as described in e.g. <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650327">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650327</a> Hope I am helping. If the problem continues you can simply download and install the development version, though that is a little harder.

I'm following the installation notes. First, with the esp-r_v11.9_linux_precomp.run in the tmp folder, and after changing the permissions with chmod a+x ./esp-r_v11.9_linux_precomp.run in the terminal the installation starts without problems. But after accepting the licence terms and starting either the GTK or the X11 installation it says "cannot access /opt/esru/esp-r/bin: No such file or directory" that the PATH in the .batch_profile files should include :/opt/esru/esp-r/bin:/opt/esru/esp-r/bin Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
