2.4 Kernal

juglugs · 11-06-2001, 06:51 AM

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to Red hat 7.1 and am slowly installing all my older software onto this platform.

I have hit a bit of a problem tho. I keep getting 'no such file or directory' when trying to run the executable files after installation.

This is really wierd - previous installations ran perfectly - could this be a kernel problem, because like i said the software ran perfectly on previous linux versions such as RH 5.1.

Cheers

have you tried running the full path for the files (i.e. /sbin/lilo) or change to the directory and do ./lilo, i noticed on my version of slack and i presume with most other distro's since i'm pretty sure is a bash feature, but it doesn't include your current directory in your path statement, at least not by default. This kind of threw me off for a while but try it out if you haven't already.

sorry, had already tried that and this is where i am getting the command not found etc. could this be some kind of library share kind of thing ?

somebody has mentioned lib5c.so - whatever that is ??

Also the software is Angoss Smartware if this helps - i can't find any support on this tho...!!! - have you ever heard of it ?

Cheers

Did you try su'ing to root?

yeah, i just installed as root to hopefully make sure that i had no user issues .........i'm getting a sinking feeling that i shouldn't have ?

BTW - just did a ls -l and found that the executable is listed as a ftp file - is this correct ????

eg: i got for the executable ./xoac

-rwxr-xr-x 1 204 ftp 189156 date xoac

it sounds like it could be the program issuing that error then, not bash. I'm sure there is a way to test it but i dont really know how... you may want to reinstall it making sure all the path's in the configure are correct, or if you installed from RPM, make sure you have the correct one for your distro? other than that bit of advice, i'm really clueless.

thanks for all yer help guys......;-)

just one last thing there seems to be some script that controls this and it was refering to the wrong path now that i have changed it tho i now get Permission Denied - progress but as stated i am already logged in as root so i'm now completely bemused.......

Cheers again

root can get permission denied errors if you try to execute a file without the executable bit enabled. do a

chmod +x file
