Executable File

[mystified]

I downloaded a program I need. It was in tar.gz format so I untarred it and all that's there is a license and an executable file called acrossl. There's no configure, makefile, install or any instructions. I tried to run the program in the directory it's located in by typing ./acrossl both as root and user but I get an error message that it can't locate that file or directory. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

corrupt download? Have you tried downloading again?

Yes, I tried several times with the same results. :?

sh nameoffile

 

That should do it. I usually don't even bother with the ./ crap anymore.

 

If not, then chmod +x nameoffile and then try ./ again.

I tried sh acrossl and get "cannot execute binary file." I don't know if I'm missing another program that's needed to run it or what the problem is.

Okay, I found the home page, redownloaded and ran ldd acrossl with the following results:

I couldn't find libstcd++so.2.8 in rpmfind.net or anywhere else.

Don't know if it'll help or if it's what you downloaded????

This is all I found. The rpmfind link has a 2.8 but it's a sparc.rpm. BUT, there' are some libstdc-compat.rpms, for what?, I don't know.

Thanks bvc! I really appreciate all your hard work. I'm going to play with it tomorrow and see if I can get it up and running. :)
