Troubleshooting Problems With Citrus

There are two types of problems you can have with Citrus: problems that prevent you from running the program and problems that prevent the program from working correctly.

If you cannot get citrus to run, then check to make sure that

1. Citrus is installed. If you are on a system with RPM, you can check to see if Citrus is installed with this command:

   % rpm -q citrus

   If Citrus is installed, this should print out the current version of the installed package. If it's not installed, RPM should print "package citrus is not installed". In that case, you need to download and install Citrus. See Obtaining Citrus for more information.

2. Your path contains the directory which has the citrus binary in it.

If citrus runs but produces an error, the possible causes include

1. citrus was unable to find (or had no read access to) its configuration file, which is normally /usr/share/citrus/units.xml.

2. One of the units you entered is incorrect. Make sure that you enclosed the starting units and the result units inside double quotes.

3. You forgot to enter a number to be converted.
