Getting the trial to work on linux

Community Support
1

I’ve been working with q on my windows 7 partition for a while now, and everything is fine.

But recently I install linux mint for development and I can’t get q to work.

I’ve placed the folder in the root (home/adnan/) and after changing into /q/l32, running q in the terminal doesn’t work.

./q gives “bash: ./: Is a directory”

and

open q gives “Couldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the console”

any help would be greatly appreciated

if you have a space between “./” and “q”, you get:

~/q/l32$ ./ q

bash: ./: Is a directory

yeah you’re right sorry,

I meant bash: ./q: no such file or directory

5

EDIT: I meant to say the bash error gives “:/q: is not a directory”

6

EDIT:? I meant to say the bash error gives ":/q: is not

You are using a colon " : "

You should be using a dot " . "

Try ? ?./q

7

ahh no I did use dot, sorry the error was this:

“bash: ./q: No such file or directory”

8

Are you still getting the error?

Note:

tom@xps ~/q/l32 $ ls

q

tom@xps ~/q/l32 $ ./q

q)

Do you get the response of

q

when you key in the command ? ? ? ls ? ? ? ??

9

chmod 755 ?

10

Not clear whether adnan is still getting the error.

11

yes, sorry again. I am. I’m typing ./q at the command line and nothing is happening.

12

yeah when I type ls at the l32 directory it lists “q” only.
and then when I type ./q it gives the bash error

i opened the zip file with archive manager an extracted it to ~/, the bash error I’m talking about is the one i mentioned above:

“bash: ./q: No such file or directory”

here’s a screenshot of my terminal http://i.imgur.com/g12fjbj.png

Can you run the following, telling us what the output looks like:

find ~/q |xargs ls -l

17

You may need to install ia32-libs. Try:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

ahhh thanks a lot, its working now!
only issue is that it doesn’t keep a history, so when i press the up and down arrows it enters ^[[A and ^[[B respectively, instead of the last commands i entered. Any solutions for that?

Please see the README.txt included with the trial for this and other information on using the system.
