/bin/bash: line 1: simg2img: command not found

Question

when I run a command simg2img I get the following error:

/bin/bash: line 1: simg2img: command not found.

MakeFile Snippet:

if [ true = true ]; then \
        simg2img out/target/product/evk_6sl/system_sparse.img out/target/product/evk_6sl/system.img; \
fi

If I check simg2img is obtained in the path

 /out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img

And this path is also in $PATH.

Running sim2img --help prints:

~/Android_Source$ simg2img --help

~/Android_Source/out/host/linux-x86/bin$ which simg2img

/home/accord/Android_Source/out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img

Why am I still getting the simg2img command not found error?

Answer 1

/bin/bash: line 1: simg2img: command not found. means that the first line in simg2img contains a command that cannot be found.

You could try inspecting this line(nano /out/host/linux-x86/bin/simg2img); it might just be a dependency.
