do you have binutils?....can't imagine you don't...and as root it should definately be in your path.

 

 

BTW, yes, you can do 

./

with the installer....that's how I do it.

 

TBH I have no clue what to do with that info. Off to do a search on binutils...

Install binutils if you need to perform any of these types of actions on

binary files.  Most programmers will want to install binutils.
