AMPtk filter not finding usearch about amptk

[nextgenusfs]

When you type usearch9 you get the version displayed on command line?

[rmsegnitz]

No, I don't.
It returns:
usearch9: command not found

I think the link directs, but maybe doesn't execute the file?

It is not in the $PATH then. You should be able to type which usearch9 and it will show you the path to the file. Steps are to make sure original binary is executable, i.e. you ran
chmod +x /full/path/to/usearch9.2.64_i86osx32
Verify that it works, via running
/full/path/to/usearch9.2.64_i86osx32
Then setup your softlink into a directory in your $PATH, i.e.
ln -s /full/path/to/usearch9.2.64_i86osx32 /usr/local/bin/usearch9

Note you can't overwrite a softlink, so if you made one that is incorrect and points to nothing, you will have to delete it before making the new one.

Thanks so much, that cleared things up.

I think that I had originally misspecified something when making the binary executable, and then since the softlinks cannot be overwritten my attempts to correct were not carried through.

Deleting and re-designating the softlink after making sure the binary was executable fixed everything.

Thanks very much for you help!
