Dumb ass Linux problem... like really dumb...

So I clearly have this file in my directory and it is set as executable (pastebin at the bottom)... Yet when i try to run it im told the file doesnt exist... how is this possible....

pastebin.pl/view/e8f66847

@freemo

Could this be the issue?

"If the file does exist in that for (no funny characters), one other possibility is that you're trying to run a 32-bit ELF program on a system that's not correctly set up to run them (i.e., a 64-bit system without the libraries and support infrastructure for 32-bit)."

That sounds like a distinct possiblity yea.. this program was pre-compiled when i downloaded it... That said its a java program behind the scenes.. .this precompiled binary is some sort of launcher or installer or something....

@freemo

Are you familiar with 'file' on the command line?

> file name-of-file

should give you a decent amount of useful info about it
