Hi John,

Thanks for your swift reaction. However, it appears the problem is not fixed, but has become worse. With v 9.0.65, tpl2rem fails also in a situation where it worked previously:

It appears the forward slash between bin and the sed files has disappeared, resulting in similar issues as before, only now in all instances. Mind you I use x86_64 and gcc 4.3.1, with the files for gcc3.4.6, but I don't think this is the issue.  

All the files in admb-9.0.65-linux64-gcc3.4.6/bin are owned by poos001, and have -rwxrwxrwx permission.

Kind regards, Jan Jaap
