Dear sirs,
as it happens my first experience with FreeBSD is with 3.2-Stable,
and i've yet to see this sort of problem ever.
When i run a file, that should run, i get error message as if it didn't
exist. So i check permissions- they're OK. I check it with "file"-
the output seems reasonable (executable, stripped etc.). So i go hmmm.
Maybe that's a shell problem. I change the shell- nothing. So i go hmmm.
Maybe i loaded one or more modules that are somehow defective. Unloading-
Nothing. So i go hmmm. Maybe i should try something else:
#cat >asd <<EOF
echo qwerty
EOF
#chmod a+x asd
"file" on "asd" says "text file", but when i run it- you guessed- nothing.
So i go hmmm. Maybe pleading to the CPU would help? So i type:
#cat >a.c <<EOF
main(){
printf('qwerty');
}
EOF
#gcc a.c
and get executable "a.out" that won't run either. So i go hmmm.
#gdb a.out
looking through the main() procedure reveals nothing strange.
I got a feeling i'm missing something big here...
Additional (Maybe) important data to analyse:
A. I was unable to diferentiate the files that run from those that don't.
It's not owner dependant, size dependant, shell dependant, in or out
of X, loadable modules or not, made for Linux or not, not user
dependant- i tried real hard.
B. I used the same set of CD's to install on a different station (200mhz,
64mb, 6.4GB pentium) and the same problem appeared there.
C. I tried it on different installs, expert/novice, w/ developer or w/o-
again- nothing.
D. Yes, i do hummm a-lot.
Thank you.
