I downloaded the Mupen64Plus 1.5 Binary and on their website it says to just run the install script to install it. So I ran the script and it installed. When I type mupen64plus into the terminal it says cannot execute binary file. Anyone know what I did wrong? I think it might have to do with the Mupen folder being on my desktop but I don't know.

First find where it installed it by running "updatedb" as root to update your search database then "locate mupen64plus". This will show you every file on your PC called mupen64plus. Remember there may be more than one instance. Find one that is (most likely) in a bin or sbin directory and run "ls -l /usr/bin/mupen64plus" (change the location as appropriate) and post the output here. This will tell us if it is executable or not.
Do you have all the dependencies installed, such as libsamplerate. Check the README for all the dependencies. Also, you might want to post more of the error next time, the first time it reports an error you should post it, not the very end of the error output because those are caused by the earlier error, probably a missing file or dependency.
