Hi, do the search by your self in Mathematica, prepend the path and call the program with a full qualifyed path ... Regards Jens "Kezhao Zhang" <kezhao.zhang at gmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:du6noo$5o1$1 at smc.vnet.net... |I want to run an external program from a Mathematica notebook on Mac OS | X. The external program is located under /usr/local/software/bin. I | added the directory "/usr/local/software/bin" to the $PATH in | /etc/profile (I'm running bash). In a terminal window, the command | "env" shows that the directory "/usr/local/software/bin" is in the | $PATH.
