Thanks for your reply. I really should have included this information. (as they were my first checks.. I used the prebuild binary from the following tgz: squeezeslave-1.0-210-lnx26.tar.gz Yes I am in the same directory as the binary file and the file is marked as executable. If strace was not finding the exe file it would have shown: strace ./fish strace: ./fish: command not found rather than: strace ./squeezeslave-lnx26-ubuntu execve("./squeezeslave-lnx26-ubuntu", ["./squeezeslave-lnx26-ubuntu"], [/* 17 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) dup(2) = 3 fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f2a702ba000 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) write(3, "strace: exec: No such file or di"..., 40strace: exec: No such file or directory ) = 40 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x7f2a702ba000, 4096) = 0 exit_group(1) = ? So it is finding the exe but then it is something that the exe is looking for at start up that it can't find. ~N -- bg214884 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bg214884's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42275 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83362 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
