Run/execute Kylix executable

stormNC · 06-10-2004, 09:59 AM

I have today installed Kylix 3 on my Suse 9 machine; it all went well and I produced a 'Hello World' type gui program that compiles and runs fine from within the IDE. The executable that it produces, however, does not run when clicked or otherwise started/run.

I am new to Linux so it may very well be a basic permissions issue, though I am trying to run the program as the same (non-root) user that wrote it.

TIA

you could check if its a permission problem:

> ls -l

if there is no x in the first line (something like this: -rw-r--r--) , you don't have the permission to execute. Change permission rights with:

> chmod u+x progname

btw: start program with ./progname

Hope it was the answer of your question

the permissions are rwxr-xr-x, but running it from the command line did yield some additional info:

relocation error: ./Project1: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings

Project1 is the name of the program.

Investigating...

I tried the suggested solutions in reverse order. The latter did not work at all, and the former works if you initiate the program from a command prompt, but not be clicking on it in a gui interface such as conqueror.

Still digging...

Thanks.
