    Execute command won't work

    Hi,

    I am new to linux/kubuntu. I am using my rigs to fold for the University of Stanford's, folding at home project.

    So I have just got one unit running and just set up a second. Everything is installed and going on the second, like the first, but it keeps saying no such file or directory when I try and start the folding program. Now it works perfectly on the other machine, I see no differences. I followed the same tutorial to get both set up here: http://dallasdon.com/html/kubuntu.html

    So why will it work on one machine and not the other. The only thing I can see different is a small difference in name on command line - one says

    synanjin@ubuntu: ~$ (doesn't work)
    and the other one says
    sysanjin@synanjin-desktop: ~$ (does work)

    I followed the steps in the tutorial for both the same, but I get the error message:
    sudo: unable to execute ./fah5: No such file or directory
    please help me out here, I can see the fah5 exe in the directory

    thanks

    Another difference is that the other machine is using 6.06.1 and the new one is using 6.10 if that might make any difference. For some reason 6.06.1 wouldn't boot the kernel so I dl'ed the newer 6.10.

      Dang,

      Don't know if I am not giving enough information or what. Any how.

      I type dir in the shell-Konsole

      it lists: Desktop Examples fah5 FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz mpiexec

      so that is what I also see in the direcotory, inside properties on fah5, the permissions tab, - Is executable - is checked. When I type
      sudo ./fah5 -config
      it asks for my password. I enter it and then it gives me the message from above.

      Should I reinstall Kubuntu? something wrong going on here, on my other machine when I type as above the program starts and I configure it for folding?

      I hate for my machine to non productive. If I am an idiot fine, just tell me what to do, need more info, just ask. I don't have a lot of time for reasearch, I am working 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week, and I just lost another person this week. Just came home to eat and check in here and back to work.

      thanks for any help

        You may try this "hack around":

        Code:
        sudo /bin/bash ./fah5 -config

            Ooops ... please post the striking system's whole feedback to the following command, then (assumed that your console points to the appropriate folder, of course) :

            Code:
            ls -l fah*

              Hi Unicornrider,

              Well I kind of fixed it myself, by accident. I dl'ed and installed 3 more Kubuntu's same thing. So thought I would try ubuntu (couple of guys on or folding team have used it) and dl'ed it and got exactly the same message.

              I was giving up and I noticed the upgrade/update sw button on the ubuntu screen, I had upgraded the first kubuntu with like 30 minutes of dl's and installs, so I thought what the hey, 30 minutes later all updated.

              I tired it and bang worked right away So now it is happily folding away. This is a new chipset/processor 965 and conroe my firends had said nothing about needing to ug to get folding so ??

              thanks for your help,

                You ran into the same odd problem that many others(including myself) did, in trying to run the FAH SMP-Linux client...the fact that even though the SMP-Linux project was developed for 64 bit Linux, the FAH binary is 32 bit! Sooo, if you're running kubuntu 6.10, the client starts because 6.10 was a transitional release and has the ia32-libs, whereas kubuntu 6.06 LTS does not.

                If you have 6.06, you have to "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" and then once they are installed, you can download it fah 5.91 executable to a directory, right click & choose Properties then check "make executable". After that, right click again and extract it into your directory. From there, just run ./fah5 -config -verbosity 9 and your FAH SMP client is ready for you to configure.

                BTW, it's ironic- the link you posted- http://dallasdon.com/html/kubuntu.html was a web page created by a buddy of mine, on my old folding team that I taught to linux-SMP fold.
