> Hi -- I'm trying to install Shoes (http://shoooes.net/) on Ubuntu Ibex, and > am running into a few problems. > The way to install Shoes on a Linux system is with a .run file, and the > instructions there say little more than double-click it. > When I try that, I get gedit complaining that it can't read the character > encoding of the file, so I think that it's time to try the trusty terminal, > with little concern for the flagrant alliteration. > The .run file is saved in a subdir of my home directory, btw, and was saved > to there by the current user (me). > > When I try "./shoes2.run", I get the following output: "bash: ./shoes2.run: > Permission denied". > So, for completeness' sake, I try "sudo ./shoes.run", and then get: "sudo: > ./shoes2.run: command not found". > > Can anyone advise me on what to try next? > Thanks very much, > Doug. > Try typing 'sudo su', and then running './shoes2.run'.
