Hi,

ls -l tells me that 23730473 bytes of a file named WORDPERF IS IN /usr
but I cannot get it to run.
chmod gives me
-rwxrwx -x 1 root root 28641280 Jun 5 14:28 WORDPERF
A 28meg program, is wordperfect that big?
Could it be a self extracting shell script or something?
type 'file /usr/WORDPERF' see if its an ELF. If it isn't
you could try 'sh /usr/WORDPERF' or 'perl /usr/WORDPERF'
('head /usr/WORDPREF to see if its a sh or perl script)
I can't remember what the exact message you get when a library is missing,
but you can check if thats the problem by 'ldd /usr/WORDPERF'.

What command are you trying to execure is with? Are you sure you want it in /usr and not /usr/bin ? What is your path (echo $PATH)? I am guessing that the file isn't in your path, although that usually give error like command not found not no such file. So it could be it is starting and then giving an error on startup.

Re: [SLUG] Executing an Executable
quote who=Debian User Adam Bogacki,,, What am I missing ? When you're in /usr, are you trying to run it as ./WORDPERF?
