Anyone else unable to use some of the text editors on gpunix? Whenever I try to use jpico or pico I just get "command not found"...they worked last week. Anyone know if IT doing something or is gpunix fubared?

what happens when you do /umr/bin/pico?

they dont have jpico on gpunix, vim is another alternative but its not as straightforward to use

I got it working, I reset my shell stuff from the online tools on IT's site, thanks.


I could have sworn I used jpico earlier this year, guess not, anyways pico is working now

i definitely just used jpico...

likewise

huh, thats weird then because I sure as hell cant use it.

can someone who is able to use jpico see if they can find out the full path with whereis for me? maybe my paths are screwed up

i too have used it in the past, you aren't crazy. i would just use pico and not worry about it.

edit: your path isnt screwed up, its just not there

You could always download nano and install it in your profile.

better yet, try `mkdir -p ~/bin; ln -s /umr/bin/pico ~/bin/jpico` and see if you can even tell the difference =)

The path to jpico and jpico3 is:
<ul>/afs/umr.edu/users/intro/bin/Linux/jpico</ul>
It's maintained by the CS intro classes, not CIS.

Generally this should be in your path if you've run the setup scrips for CS73 (fortran), CS53 (C++ for CS) or CS74 (C++ for non-CS). If you've used the helpdesk utility to reset login files, they will no longer be in your path. Also, if you've change to a different shell (bash for example), they probably won't be in your path anymore either. Re-running one of the setup scripts or changing your shell back to csh (or tcsh) may fix the problem. (Or, of course, modifying the path for your current shell)

By the way, I recommend trying out jpico3 - it's a newer version that supports color syntax highlighting. It'll probably replace "plain" jpico in the next semester or two.

Better yet, just build jpico from source in your home directory.

i've got it here:
http://web.umr.edu/~klgb53/joe-3.1.tar.gz

tar zxf joe-3.1.tar.gz
cd joe-3.1
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install
