Hi D.,
Thank you for your answer.
I actually boot from a Live CD (DVD in fact), so the answer is not really
relevant (in this case).
Also, after a boot from an Aurox' Live CD , I was able to run the REALbasic
application (that is in the Memory Stick FAT32 formatted) and populate a Project
with Drag n drop code 'till I got a crash... and then nothing...
Do you boot (the Linux machine) on an external hard disk ?
TIA,
Emile

I'm not in front of my Linux machine right now to test this, but how is
that Memory Stick formatted? If it is FAT (which it probably is), then it
might not have the Execute bit set. FAT doesn't have the execute bit, but
usually there is an option to set the execute bit when you mount a FAT
partition. Try doing an 'ls -l' on that app and look at the permissions
bits. If it is something like 'rw-rw-r' then you won't be able to run it.

I have compiled a number of Linux apps using 5.5 on Macintosh and transfering
them to the Linux computer via a CDR. I always copied the app to the Linux
hard disk. (never a problem) If you tried this, you might be able to
determine whether it is a problem with the USB memory stick or somewhere
else.
