I had tried all the possible combinations of the commands but still i get a "file or directory does not exist error"
roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod a+x AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
sudo: unable to execute ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin: No such file or directory
I tried without the sudo and this is what i get
roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod a+x AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
roger@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
bash: ./AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin: No such file or directory
The file is present in the desktop.
P.S: Cannot install .bin package on Ubuntu
I'm running Fedora 11, however when I try to install an rpm.bin or a .bin file, it is not recognized. Java can be downloaded as a rpm.bin or a .bin file and it will not install.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhere is the best path to install all files of package when compiling?
For example - I want to install ProFTPd, so there's an option
--prefix=/usr/local/proftpd
, which means, that all files after compilation (including binary and configuration files) will be stored here. As you know, all packages, which are installed via package system (like zypper on SuSE or apt on Ubuntu) usually stores its configuration files in /etc/ and binary files in /sbin/ and also stores a link in my $PATH, so i can run in just by typing proftpd (without /sbin).
The huge advantage of packages installed via package system, i think, is easy uninstall process. I'd like to be able to uninstall compiled packages also easy.
I think i could be able to create some batch file, which I'll be able to use like this:
uninstall --package=proftpd
And my script will find all proftpd files in usuall paths (/etc, /sbin) and remove it using rm.
Is there any best practices, where to store all these files, or are there any (dis)advantages of my first example (--prefix=/usr/local/proftpd)?
I really don't think, that it's nice to have 2 paths with configuration files and binary files, but maybe I'm misunderstanding the basic principals of Linux... :-)

View 6 Replies View Related"You'll probably want to operate from inside your home directory. If your user is (for example) username, your home directory will be /home/username/. For the rest of this section we will assume you have downloaded your zip file to /home/username/src. If you do not have a src directory, you can create it with the following "mkdir" (make directory) command:"
Where do the commands go? I cant make it work in terminal. How do I get back to "home" from where i am now? example /home/mydesktop/. I am working in mydesktop. I have downloaded some packages that pkcon search will not find, but when I try to install them using "synaptic" it cant find the packages i dl. So I found this tutorial.
"So, we have our source package in /home/username/src/.
Change to the /home/username/src/ directory with the "cd" (change directory) command like so: cd /home/username/src/
but I dont know where to write the commands.
I need help installing programs again because I am trying to install a win32 codec to play wmv files. I am completely new to linux and I guess I'm fucking up my system because now I can't install anything. Here is the error messages I receive when I try to download Banshee This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. The sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install -f have errors when I enter them as follows

I want to install Forms & Reports Developer Suite in Linux OS So I have downloaded Oracle Developer Suite 10g for Linux (Including Forms & Reports)
as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk1.cpio
as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk2.cpio
So in the Oracle Documentation Site they have given Guide as Follows:
To extract the cpio file,
move the cpio file to an empty directory,
then do:
cat filename.cpio | cpio -icd ....
but its not extracting.
Okay so I have now run into my first problem I cant seem to find a solution to.
I have downloaded a .deb file and discovered that you can run them through Ubuntu Software Center to avoid using the terminal. It seems to me that you can even do this if the program is not a part of the Software Center listed programs.
So this is what I did and it now says that my program has been installed.
