    Executable won't execute

    After spending two hellish days trying to get a computer that works (the updater decided to take a nose dive with all my stuff) and finally getting all my important files off for the clean install I find that something has gone wrong. Namely my executables don't go. I was trying to get all my programs back on and I was working on Regnum Online when I found out about this. I downloaded the file as a .tar.gz and extracted it to it's own folder on my desktop and click on it to run (because it's an executable file.) Nothing. So I open the properties to make sure it's executable, it is. So I try that 'run as root' option and nothing again. Fine, I can deal with that. I open konsole and go to sudo sh it. And I get
    /home/wolf/Desktop/rolauncher/rolauncher: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

    What's going wrong and how can I fix this?

      Re: Executable won't execute

      Huge file. And when I open it in kate I get a lot of nonsense (it's a binary). But here's the link to download it: http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/downl...auncher.tar.gz
      It's 4MB so I can't just include it as an attachment. :P
      There seems to be only one similar problem on the game forums but about halfway through his problem and mine diverge.
      While that game may have it's issues, I think this is something I have configured wrong on my own computer.

      Here's the ldd of it:
      Code:
      rolauncher$ ldd rolauncher

    libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xb69e0000)
      So I don't *think* it has to do with any missing libraries. But I could be wrong, and with a new OS I quite often am.


      EDIT: It's not just this. I tried to run Castle Wolfenstein and ran into the same problem. I installed it fine, but when I go to run it I get the same error message. So now I'm pretty sure that it's my computer.

      P.S. This is a clean (I mean *completely* clean, I ran DBAN before I installed again) install.
