Hi Giota, The executable should be placed in a directory on $PATH. You can see what directories those are with: % echo $PATH You can add to $PATH with: % export PATH="/new/dir:$PATH" --nate On Dec 4, 2011, at 3:55 PM, Giota Kottara wrote:

Hi,

I've put the executable in the directory where the xml file and wrapper is. The message I'm getting when I run the tool is Unable to run tool: No such file or directory. I guess that I'm forgetting something....

Dear galaxy developers,

I am trying to integrate an executable tool in a private instance of galaxy. I stored the configuration .xml file and the executable in tools folder of Galaxy and the tool appears in the homepage. Nevertheless when i am running the tool it doesn't seem to find the executable. Am I forgetting something?

Hi Giota,

I've moved this over to the galaxy-dev list since it pertains to tool development.

Executables will need to be on the $PATH of the user running Galaxy. Could you share the error messages you receive when you run the tool?
