Kim,

thank you for responding. But as I wrote in my last post, I set all the rights to read, write and execute for everyone.
Also, I executed the calling script as root and as sudo and as normal user. It is always the same behaviour ...
one script (tree-tagger-english) calling a file lookup.perl works nicely, another, (tagger-chunker-english) calling
filter-chunker-output.perl doesn't find the latter.
Even stranger, there are similar scripts for tagging German and French texts, which work also, and similar
scripts for chunking German and French texts, which don't (just like the English situation...)

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,

Axel
