Troubleshooting Errors in Gmacs

Linux

admb not found

If you encounter an error like the following:

make[1]: admb: command not found

But have already installed ADMB, admb probably needs to be added to the path.

This can be done, for example, by editing the file ~/.profile and adding the location of the admb executable:

export PATH=$PATH:~/admb

Next reload the ~/.profile file by source ~/.profile. You should now be able to type admb from terminal and get the ADMB usage message:
