I've been having trouble with my bash shell not recognizing files when I
try to execute them even though they show up with the ls command. Here is
a sample of the phenomenon.
Script started on Fri May 12 13:38:25 2000
[solovay@localhost Opera]$ pwd
/home/solovay/Opera/Opera
[solovay@localhost Opera]$ ls -l opera
-rwxr-xr-x 1 solovay solovay 5535524 Mar 30 06:51 opera
[solovay@localhost Opera]$ ./opera
bash: ./opera: No such file or directory
[solovay@localhost Opera]$ exit
exit

When I do a version command for bash I get:
[solovay@localhost Opera]$ bash -version
GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1)
[solovay@localhost Opera]$ which bash
/bin/bash
Is there a possible explanation for this other than bash being brain dead?
I guess I can try to snarf a new version of bash off the net. Should there
be any problem replacing the old version of bash with a new one?
Many thanks.
