I have run into this several times myself. With me, the latest such episode
occurred with sixpack, a bibliography application for lyx. I installed it,
which went fine. I then try to run it and get the same message you do. I
then do a "which <executable>" and it properly identifies the executable in
the proper place.
The executable just wont work and isn't recognized. I then tried
reinstalling and that appeared to do the trick. I have run into this with
several different programs lately: sixpack, pybliographic, k3d, and a couple
others I can't recall right now.

Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
