File execution problem in ubuntu

Asked by Ajay Srinivasan

I recently installed the ubuntu precise pangolin 64bit LTS and i started to execute an application named 'wi-free-linux'
I get an error 'permission denied' when trying to execute it.
 I tried it as super user and also enabled chmod+x but the file is not executing.
I have executed this on previous versions of ubuntu perhaps some libraries are missing on this version..
 please help me execute the file.
Thanks

can you give the output of:

ls -l `which wi-free-linux`; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

I found the file online. If you run:

wget https://secure.wi-free.com/wi-free-linux
chmod +x ./wi-free-linux
sudo mv ./wi-free-linux /usr/bin

And you can now just run:

sudo wi-free-linux

And it will run

we're actually moving the file to usr/bin directory so it will run directly like other commands right ?
I understand it but
when i type ' sudo wi-free-linux' , it says command not found..
i ensured that the file is in the usr/bin directory...
still not working.. any help bro?

Try:

sudo chmod 700 /usr/bin/wi-free-linux

If you then run:

ls -l /usr/bin/wi-free-linux

does it output:

-rwx------ 1 ajay ajay 1548868 Feb 15 04:42 wi-free-linux

?

The app is 32bit and the Ubuntu install is 64bit which can get really messy. You may need to download the 32bit libs for the application.

I'm not sure what the command does but in Linux, no news is good news. If you run:

ps -ef | grep wi-free-linux | grep -v grep

Is the program name output?
