Hello all,

So, IDL 7.0 for Unix systems has been made available to me through my
school's astronomy department, in the form of a .zip file. However,
once extracted, xinstall.sh does not work, since it's still configured
under the assumption that it's installing from cdrom (in particular,
I'm getting an error that says "exec: 352: ./xinstall: Permission
denied"). What do I have to change so that xinstall will work despite
not being on a cdrom? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Thanks!

Hi to everyone, excuse me if I open this topic again. I have been trying desperately for some days to install IDL 7.0 on Ubuntu 13, but it says this message, when I type " sudo ./install_unix.sh":

$ -usr/local/itt/idlunix/unix/xinstall.sh : 352: exec: ./xinstall: not found

I gave the execution permission to the entire directory as you did, and I had this file in my directories. I don't know what to do ! Do you have some tips???

Thanks,

Silvia

If an executable program is "not found" there are serveral reasons for that:

The file given in the shebang line is not found or not executable.
-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

If the program is an executable, a link library may be missing.
-> run ldd <program> to check for unresolved references

If the program is a 32 bit executable and the OS is a 64 bit system some
32-bit libraries are not installed.

You may open the file xinstall.sh in an editor and look at line 352
for the parameters of exec. Maybe a file redirection fails there.
