Best, - Rob 2011/8/1 SA NALEWALKE i went into terminal and did exactly what you said.  when i entered "%>chuck" in the terminal it didnt give me the "[chuck]: no input files... (try –help)" message on the terminal screen like it says it should in the chuck manual. does this mean it didnt install correctly?  i included a pic of the terminal windo as well.  i dont know how to tell if its installed or not.  thanks so much for your help. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
