1. exactly the same, but different

Mystery.
What is the difference?

Doesn't work:
desktop:~/projects/wx-projects/zzz_for_freshmeat/food_combining$ bindu fcr.exw
couldn't open fcr!

Works:
desktop:/media/usbdisk1/uploads/upload_nutrition/fcr$ bindu fcr.exw
deleted 1084 unused routines and 1992 unused variables.
You may now run ./fcr

fcr.exw is the same file in both cases.
I copied one onto the other to make sure.

The only difference is the directory.
Maybe that ~ thingy.

Why is the name "fcr.exw" changed to fcr ?

I used the "open in terminal" feature of gnome in both cases.

The only thing that I can think of is maybe the path doesn't include the current
directory?
Try:
~/projects/wx-projects/zzz_for_freshmeat/food_combining$ bindu ./fcr.exw

Otherwise, no clue.

I tried it again and it worked. Weird.
Illogical. Does not compute.

Gotta clue.

When I run the binded file fcr from the same directory, this doesn't work:

desktop:~/projects/wx-projects/zzz_for_freshmeat/food_combining$ bindu fcr.exw
couldn't open fcr!

But when I exit the binded file fcr, this works:

desktop:~/projects/wx-projects/zzz_for_freshmeat/food_combining$ bindu fcr.exw
deleted 1084 unused routines and 1992 unused variables.
You may now run ./fcr

Rule: Do not try to bind fcr.exw while running fcr from the same directory.
