Running program >> permission denied

[Kaapo]

I'm trying to run this program waste, it won't start..

It just said permission denied. I also tried to run it as root and it came to same conclusion..

Does it have execuite permission??

Who owns the file??

I own it...

What do u mean by execuite permission?

[gogalthorp]

In linux you can not run a file until you give it execuite permission. Like read or write permission. If you are the files owner ie you created it. Then the easiest way is to navagate to the file via the GUI and right click it and change the permission to executable. or from the command line

chmod +777 thefilename

which gives everyone on the computer permission to read/write/execute

If you are not the owner then you must change to the owner or root and do the above. Only the owner or root can change permissions!

Ok...

My error changed:

./waste: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.5.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'll install that package, thank u very much!!
