What's the problem?

What is wrong if I type ./<file> and it comes back saying that <file> is "no such file or directory"?

[stingray72]

The file needs to be executable before that will work. If it's a script or something try

chmod +x <file>

That'll do it

No dice....

What is the output if you try something simple like the following:


john@limbo john $ echo "echo Linux Rules" > test
john@limbo john $ chmod 755 test
john@limbo john $ ./test
Linux Rules
john@limbo john $

It works fine. I can run other files, just not this one.

Please run
ls -l
on the file and post the output here.
Also, the 'file' cmd as well.
Thanks
