Trouble running program after successful install

Question

New overwhelmed ubuntu user here, but so happy to be finally doing this. I have learned so much so far.

I just installed a package for a program called virtual moon atlas 6.0. It consists of three .tgz files; One for 386 processor, one for x86, and one for the data, and a .sh file. I ran the .sh file.

It installed, and the script ended with a output line saying that said in order to run the program run this following command. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/virtual_moon/lib && ~/virtual_moon/bin/atlun

When I run this it says /home/josh/virtual_moon/bin/atlun: No such file or directory

Thinking I was some sort of genius and I decided to the run the following line of code with two vertical bars instead of two ampersands for basically no good reason. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/virtual_moon/lib || ~/virtual_moon/bin/atlun

It ran without an error code, but I don't think it matters because I can't figure out how to launch the program or even find the program name to launch it from the command line by using the find command. What should I do?

Thanks for any help you offer. I am so happy to join this community finally.

I think your problem's not about a variable environments, i tried with following :

1. Extract the .tar of VAM6 package

   $ tar -xvf virtualmoon-6.0-linux.tar vmapro_install.sh licence virtualmoon-data-6.0-linux_all.tgz virtualmoon-6.0-linux_x86_64.tgz virtualmoon-6.0-linux_i386.tgz

2. Extract the .tgz file to get the data of VAM6

   $ mkdir -p VMA6 && tar xzvf virtualmoon-6.0-linux_x86_64.tgz -C VMA6 bin/ bin/atlun bin/weblun bin/datlun bin/photlun bin/cclun lib/ lib/libvma404.so share/ share/applications/ share/applications/cclun.desktop share/applications/virtualmoon.desktop share/doc/ share/doc/virtualmoon/ share/doc/virtualmoon/copyright share/doc/virtualmoon/changelog share/virtualmoon/ share/virtualmoon/language/ share/virtualmoon/language/photlun.en.po share/virtualmoon/language/cclun.fr.po share/virtualmoon/language/datlun.fr.po share/virtualmoon/language/cclun.en.po share/virtualmoon/language/maplun.en.po share/virtualmoon/language/weblun.fr.po share/virtualmoon/language/maplun.fr.po share/virtualmoon/language/vmadatabase.en.po share/virtualmoon/language/photlun.fr.po share/virtualmoon/language/datlun.en.po share/virtualmoon/language/weblun.en.po share/virtualmoon/language/vmadatabase.fr.po share/virtualmoon/data/ share/virtualmoon/data/country.tab share/virtualmoon/data/retic.cur share/pixmaps/ share/pixmaps/cclun.xpm share/pixmaps/virtualmoon.xpm

3. Install it using .sh script

   $ sudo ./vmapro_install.sh Virtual Moon Atlas You can use this script without parameter for the initial installation of virtualmoon-6.0 or give the name of the additional file to install: sudo ./vmapro_install.sh PictureApollo.tgz Installing /home/praz/Downloads/virtualmoon-6.0-linux_x86_64.tgz Select installation directory [/usr/local] :/usr/local Now installing Virtual Moon Atlas to /usr/local Are you sure? [y,n] :y Installing /home/praz/Downloads/virtualmoon-data-6.0-linux_all.tgz libvma404.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libvma404.so Installation successful Then run Virtual Moon Atlas with the following command: /usr/local/bin/atlun Or the Command Center with the following command: /usr/local/bin/cclun

4. I choose to installation directory on /usr/local, finally open your VAM6 using :

   $ /usr/local/bin/atlun Init OpenGL Check Acceleration Check texture size Texture max: 16384 Check Bumpmap Driver: INTEL OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGY CENTER MESA DRI INTEL(R) BAY TRAIL GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3 OK GL_ARB_fragment_program OK SetBumpMethod Check MultiTexture InitLabel InitSprite Init OpenGL OK

The VAM6 package will appears daemon like

Hope this helps.
