Hi:
Using kubuntu 7.04 (amd_640
I've installed a binary in /usr/bin. This is a programming language
interpreter (rebol) not available thru apt-get.
Permissions are set to 775, but when I attempt to execute it, I get
"No such file or directory"

Is there something else that needs to be done?
Supposedly the binary was compiled for ubuntu.
thanks
tim

Is the exectuable in /usr/bin or is it in /usr/bin/rebol/ ?

If the latter, make a symbolic link (must change the name slightly if its
the same as the directory name) in /usr/bin

ln -s /usr/bin/rebol/rebol /usr/bin/rebolexe

Hi Sinner:
It is in /usr/bin
and I have tried it in /usr/local/bin with the same results
ldd rebol gives me
"Not a dynamic executable"
linux32 rebol gives me
"Can not execute rebol: No such file or directory"
It is compiled as 32-bit .... works fine on slackware 10.0

I have also tried executing as ./rebol from several other directories.
thanks
tim

After takin' a swig o' grog, Tim Johnson belched out this bit o' wisdom:

Try

file /usr/bin/rebol

and tell us what it says.  (Install the "file" package, if necessary.)

Same for

ls -l /usr/bin/rebol

Here you go....
tim@bart:~$ file /usr/bin/rebol
/usr/bin/rebol: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
tim@bart:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/rebol

BTW: If I run ldd on this same executable from slackware I get:
ldd ~/downloads/rebol
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4002c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4004e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

ld-linux is not present on this machine.
question 1: Where do I get it?
question 2: can this 32-bit executable use those libraries
:-)that should answered when I find ld-linux.so.2

That rebol binary is too old to run under modern Linuxes. You need a
modern executable which you can probably get here:

That executable is the one compiled for ubuntu 5.1
(http://www.rebol.net/builds/042/reb...42-ub510.tar.gz)

I downloaded sdk-2705042, which is a build date of March 30,
and extracted the binary.
_exactly_ the same issues.

This problem remains, and to really resolve anything, I need
ld-linux.so.2
Where can I get it? Must be part of some package, right?
Thank you
Tim

I'm thinking that ld-linux.so.2 is part of the ldso dynamic loader
and appears to be obsoleted. Here is output from apt-get:
"""
sudo apt-get install ldso
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ldso is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libc6-dev libc6
E: Package ldso has no installation candidate
"""
