My apologies to Joseph Sinclair for failing to acknowledge the response that he provided re the subject issue. I did not see your October 12 email until today because I am apparently being blocked by something from receiving emails from PLUG. Yes, I did confirm that all the permissions were set correctly and there were no symbolic link in the path. Yes, I did recompile the program on the new machine. The solution, however, was that the readin.c source code was out-dated and needed to be updated. So through Fiverr, after contacting more than a dozen tech vendors, only one, a guy in Kenya came through with the solution. He edited and updated the source code and gave me this command to compile it: gcc readin.c -o readin -std=c89 Once I did that, the new 'readin' worked fine. ------------------- == 2210-12 at 16:55 Joseph Sinclair wrote: Re: Why "no such file" error ? I know it seems simple, but have you checked permissions to ensure the user ID running the script has both read and execute permission for the executable, and the extended attribute noexec is not set on the executable? I've seen that error when permissions are not quite as expected, or when extended attributes are set to prevent an action. Another possibility that comes immediately to mind is whether there is a symbolic link in the path to the executable, symbolic links can get weird at times. Third question, Did you copy over the binary, or recompile the program on this new machine? If you did copy an existing binary, a recompile might be a good idea to rule out issues caused by ELF or glibc changes. === --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
