It sounds like you installed get_iplayer as root in which case root owns
the file so rwxrxrx would give root full permissions, group members and
others read/execute only. As root, run:
chmod 777 get_iplayer
To give everyone write permission but this is not safe on a multiuser
system.

Hi and thanks for the advice. I had understood however that
-rwxr-xr-x 1 meant that user had write permissions. I could of course change
ownership but why have I not had this issue before?

hello
If you are running /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer as anyone other than
root and /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer is attempting to update itself the
error you are receiving to correct. No one except root has "write"
premissions on /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer
You need to provide the exact command line that you are using that
cause the error.
it does appear that /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer is attempting to update
itself and failing miserably

I have a problem with permissions/ownership. I have followed wiki and

423921 Feb 9 18:16 get_iplayer, which tells me that user should be able
to write. Is it an environment issue or am I just losing it? Never had
this problem before.
