Troubles with Shell Script

Hi. I have a problem with my shell script, I used images in my project, all the installation works fine, I copied my project into /usr/bin/ and when I will run my project "couldn't open "filenew.gif": no such file or directory" shows up. Like the link to my project folder doesnt works. What could be the problem?. The link in /usr/bin/ looks fine:

Link Target: /usr/share/PadPaper-EDITOR-1.01/PadPaper.py

Part of my Shell Script:



Thanks for your help.

What directory does the application think it is running from?

And where are the gif files relative to that location?

It sounds like you have a relative addressing problem.

Thanks for your reply. I Attached the Project. The shell script is Install.sh.

Well, then thing is: What Grim said applies. When you run an application or a script, the current working directory is the base directory from where relative file locations are mapped.

This is to say that: for every file you name with no path, i.e. just the filename, an equivalent way of naming that file would be './file'.

The node you are at in the directory structure becomes the base, so if you're in your home folder, a third way of saying the exact same thing would be '~/file'. For me, this would be '/Users/simon/file', with the shell expanding the '~' token.

In your PadPaper.py file, you point to the GIF files without any path information. Now you know where Python looks for those files; it ain't in your project folder.

Thanks all for your replys. Now is working fine.
