Stata 5: I am having trouble running Stata for Linux on my Linux computer. What is wrong?
| Title | Stata 5: Red Hat Linux | |
| Author | Mark Esman, StataCorp |
The current distribution of Stata is in a.out binary format. Some newer Linux distributions, such as Red Hat, do not by default install a.out support. Under most circumstances, simply installing the a.out support from the Linux distribution media will solve the problem.
