[Difx-users] Running DiFX

[Hagatiana Andrianomena]

Hi Adam,

Many thanks for your reply. I did run 'startdifx example_1.input' and came
out with:

/bin/sh: 1: genmachines: not found
/bin/sh: 1: genmachines: not found
/bin/sh: 1: genmachines: not found
.....

Perhaps there is something which is not configured properly in my case
during installation?

Cheers,
Sam
