Permission problems

[patwille]

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to linux (just installed it and never worked with it before) so i have this problem which is probably very silly . Anyway i am trying to use Komodo Editor 6 to use for perl programming. I managed to get it installed and added it to PATH. So now when i tried to open it in command (sh komodo) i always get permission errors like " komodo: 23: ./../lib/mozilla/komodo: Permission denied ".

My user account is admin for further info. Hope anyone can help this newbie

Hello and Welcome!

I'm no programmer by any means. But here's a question...
You're trying to launch Komodo from the command line, correct? Or are you attempting to execute a script/program that you've written?
To launch the editor, I would think that simply typing komodo should do the trick.
sh <some_name> would initiate a shell script.


And what do you mean that your account is admin? Just curious...

Hey,

Wow quick responses Well i just mentioned that my user account type is 'administrator', maybe that is relevant to those permission issues.

And yes i want to start it from command line, but when i'm in the directory of Komodo-Edit-6 and i type just 'komodo' it says unknown command :S

I'm assuming that you downloaded from Active States' website.
Have you referred to their documentation?

It may be able to point you in the right direction.

Hey,

Yes i have downloaded from the AS website. When i follow their manual i should give in this:

export PATH=/home/Komodo-Edit-6/bin:$PATH

So when i enter this and try to open komodo i get this in my terminal:

patrick@ubuntu:~/Komodo-Edit-6$ export PATH=/home/Komodo-Edit-6/bin:$PATH
patrick@ubuntu:~/Komodo-Edit-6$ komodo
komodo: command not found

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong..

To be honest, you will probably be able to get more informed answers on the Komodo Support Forum.
