I have a program which I am trying to run, however when I run it; it just complains that it can't find a particular file.

However I have no idea which folder it is trying to find this particular file in. I have a copy of the required file, I just need to know which folder to copy it too.

Is there any way to show in real time which files are being accessed or which files are trying and failing to be accessed?

I am using Ext4 filesystem if that helps.

Thanks
