I am probably doing something silly, but can anyone help with why this should 
be happening?

I hosed my Debian installation (don't ask!).  So not having done a new install 
for many years and several new computers, I decided the thing to do was start 
from scratch again.  Its not a big deal, you just wipe your root partition and 
reinstall, then after you've laboriously installed all the apps again, and its 
amazing how many there were, all the menus and all the data files link up 
perfectly.

So, this leaves LiveCode.  Download the installer using firefox. Open terminal. 
 cd to Download.  ls shows its there.  Try to run it, and it says file does not 
exist.  OK, lets confirm its there and being invoked beyond any doubt.  So I 
create a directory livecode and move the installer to it.  It moves fine.  Now 
we try to run it.  Doing it like this there can't be any silly spelling 
mistakes.


~/livecode$ ls
LiveCodeInstaller-4_5_3-Linux.x86
:~/livecode$ ./L*
bash: ./LiveCodeInstaller-4_5_3-Linux.x86: No such file or directory

same thing happens if I become root.  Its not because its an archive, either.  
Try to open it with archive manager from thunar file manager and the same thing 
happens.  Its not the file manager, do it from gnome commander, same thing 
(well, that just invokes a terminal so its not surprising).

Any suggestions?  Its probably something completely stupid, but what?

Peter
