No Such file or directory
Hi,

I am facing issue when I am trying to run any command from /usr/bin/ folder. I can see a link to the files exists in this folder but when I run giving absolute path it gives me below error.

Code:
1. $ /usr/bin/awk
-bash: /usr/bin/awk: No such file or directory

2. $ man awk
sh: /usr/bin/gunzip: No such file or directory
fgets: No such file or directory
Error reading man page /usr/share/man/man1/awk.1.gz
No manual entry for awk

Below command shows that the links exist in the folder

Code:
$ ls -ltr /usr/bin/awk
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Nov 28 10:16 /usr/bin/awk -> ../../bin/gawk

$ ls -ltr /usr/bin/gunzip
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Nov 28 10:25 /usr/bin/gunzip -> ../../bin/gunzip

Check if the actual gawk is present in /bin/gawk or whichever path it is pointing to.

Yes, I can see that is also present.

Do you have the right permissions to access /bin/awk?

'no such file or directory' can mean 'important library is missing'. Try 'ldd /bin/awk' and see if it can find all its libraries.

Hi Corona,

When I run the command I get the below output.

Code:
$ ldd /bin/awk
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff06920000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00000036f2c00000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00000036f4400000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000036f3000000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000036f2800000)

and when I am running the command without pointing to /usr/bin I am getting the below message. Seems like the commands are find just like the links are not working. Does that mean I have to rebuild the links? is there a quick way to rebuild them?

Thanks!!

To report bugs, see node `Bugs' in `gawk.info', which is
section `Reporting Problems and Bugs' in the printed version.

gawk is a pattern scanning and processing language.
By default it reads standard input and writes standard output.

Examples:
        gawk '{ sum += $1 }; END { print sum }' file
        gawk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd

The link looks ok to me. But do you have permission to navigate it? Post the result of the following command...
Code:
$ ls -ld / /bin /usr /usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x 36 root root  4096 Jan 23 15:05 /
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Jun 25  2010 /bin
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root  4096 Jun 24  2010 /usr
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 73728 May 17  2013 /usr/bin
