I am currently trying to install DISLIN for use with Fortran90 on Ubuntu, following the steps from DISLIN; - ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/grafik/dislin/linux/i586_64/README.I586_64

RPM Distribution Installation was successful.
This is not the case however for DEB Distribution of DISLIN.

INPUT: sudo dpkg -i dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb

OUTPUT: dpkg: error processing archive dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
dislin-10.4.linux.9586_64.deb


Don't know what my issue is and can;t seem to find much elsewhere, so any help I am sure would benefit more than just myself.
Many thanks to all

Wouldn't it be better to join the DISLIN discussion group and ask for help there?
 
Code:
> sudo dpkg -i dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb

dpkg: error processing archive dislin-10.4.linux.i586_64.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
dislin-10.4.linux.9586_64.deb
... dpkg could not find the package you want to install.
either put the deb in dpkg's default install path or provide the path to the deb in the commandline

why are you installing both rpm and deb versions?
