Everytime I click on a *.bin file in the GUI it just opens the archiver. I do not know any other way to install stuff. Shell attempts: Tried: ./j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-linux.bin -bash: ./j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-linux.bin: Permission denied I tried that via the shell as root but just get a message "Permission denied" Tried: ./jdk-1_5_0_05-nb-4_1-linux-ml.bin ./jdk-1_5_0_05-nb-4_1-linux-ml.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [Edited by - Halsafar on September 26, 2005 10:36:42 PM]

The "permission denied" error most likely means that the file is not marked executable.

how do i fix that one?

chmod 755 filename
okay now they both give the same error.

Starting a new thread, google lead me to a thousand horrible answers.
