Install Scripts don't run?!

[teastman]

This is a brand new install of 8.04 on a ACER Extensa 5620z
Dual Boot w/Vista (sorry)
intel pent Dual Core T2370
2 gig DDR2

Tried running a couple of install scripts. One was to install for the Atheros AR5007EG in this laptop found here;
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...hlight=Atheros

The other is a simple install-css.sh in
/usr/share/doc/kaffine/ (both run as sudo)

In each case I get a message that says "Command Not Found" even though I am launching that in a Konsole from within that directory.

When I do a LS command the .sh file is right there! Why would my system come back and tell me that command is not found??

actual error line is

sudo: install-css.sh: command not found

thanks

Re: Install Scripts don't run?!

when running an install script usually you have to use a ./ before the the file

ex:

./install-css.sh

Re: Install Scripts don't run?!

Chief_ is correct.
In linux when you run a command in a terminal, you need to specify the full path to the executable, unless it is in certain directories (such as /usr/bin).
So you don't have to type the full path every time (i.e /home/claydoh/my-scripts/foo.sh) every time, there are various typing shortcuts. the "./" is specifying it to be in the current directory you are in, for example.
