      Hello Jeff,              On Fri Nov 24 2017 11:01:16, Jeff Smith wrote to Nicholas Boel:               JS> No, actually I installed BBBS here in the /home/bbbs directory.

Even though those files are executable, they don't actually run and       give a "Bad command of file name" error. I'm wondering if Kim created another       step or the archive is just bad. Here's the steps I took:              user/group axisd:axisd              /home/axisd/tmp $ wget www.bbbs.net/ftp/bbbs_lii.tar.gz       /home/axisd/tmp $ gunzip bbbs*       /home/axisd/tmp $ tar xvpf bbbs*       /home/axisd/tmp $ cd bbbs       /home/axisd/tmp $ ./bcfg4 0       Bad command or file name       /home/axisd/tmp $ ./bbbs       Bad command or file name              This was with an Archlinux VM on an HP Proliant server with an Intel Xeon       processor.              Regards,       Nick              ...
