Problem running installed programs

**rafgar** · 09-21-2005

This is the third program I've had this problem with. I install, no error messages, then when I try to run it, it tells me the file doesn't exist. I go to where it should be and check and it IS there. Plain as day the file's right there, but it refuses to run. Here's the output from my terminal.

Code:

desktop&#58;/# kildclient
bash&#58; /usr/bin/kildclient&#58; No such file or directory
desktop&#58;/# cd /usr/bin
desktop&#58;/usr/bin# ls kildclient
kildclient

This is really frustrating the heck out of me. The other two programs I've had this problem with are UT: GOTY and The Mana World. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Interesting. It should say

Code:

bash&#58; command not found

if the command can't be found. Try specifying the full path to the command:

Code:

$ /usr/bin/kildclient

Didn't work. Got the same thing.

Code:

desktop&#58;/# /usr/bin/kildclient
bash&#58; /usr/bin/kildclient&#58; No such file or directory

I've tried it as both root and a user also. This is the output from when I was trying to run as root, but as a user it's the exact same.

Now this is happening with OpenOffice v1.9.122 and 1.9.125 to. Could someone PLEASE give me some idea what could be causing this?

Have you gone in the /usr/bin directory to make sure the file exists? And while you're there, make sure the permissions are right.

**rafgar** · 09-25-2005

That was the first thing I did. The file is there and the permissions are set right.

Code:

desktop&#58;/# /usr/bin/kildclient
bash&#58; /usr/bin/kildclient&#58; No such file or directory

This appears as though '/usr/bin/kildclient' is complaining. What [command line] argments does 'kildclient' reguire? What environment variables does 'kildclient' use and what values are they set to? What set-up files, etc. does 'kildclient' use and what are the contents...???

Try:

file /usr/bin/kildclient

Is it a script? If so... edit it...
