So what is the best way to do the following in ubuntu?

Import["!wget -qO- http://google.com", "Text"]

I'm on 16.04 and can't get any output. A patch or workaround would be appreciated. As pointed out in the comments Import["!which yes", "Text"] so there is some output that is available.

  • $\begingroup$ For the second question, try Import["!LD_LIBRARY_PATH= wget -qO- http://google.com", "Text"] $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It is the same issue as in (88059). The workaround should not be necessary in version 11 and later. $\endgroup$
