    Angry What's the deal, permission denied!?

    Okay so i downloaded "Action Cube" and unzipped it to my desktop. then i used the terminal to browse to the unix_bin folder, and i did a ./ac_client and it said permission denied... it did this for both my normal user, and for my root user... WTF? how do you get these kinds of games actually running

    Run the following command

    Code:
    ls -l
    You will hopefully see a line like

    Code:
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2122 2006-11-10 23:38 ac_client
    The important part is the rwxr-xr-x. It probably won't look like that though because you are getting permission errors.

    Code:
    chmod u+x ac_client
    and try running it again.

    Let us know how you get on,
