Hy everybody.
My problem: i have installed linux mint 13 xfce 32bit on my netbook asus (amd c-60 dual core 1ghz, 1gb ram, radeon 6290m 256mb, hdd 320gb) and everything works fine except for this... when i click on a executable file (not file exe, but linux executable file) like desura, nothing happen. And i don't know why. I have installed linux mint 13 64bit on my notebook and i haven't this problem.
I try to do the same with the terminal but nothing. Doesn't run. I open the folder in the terminal and i try to open the file but says " command not found".
What should i have to do?
thanks

Re: Cant' run executable file on mint 13 xfce
Hello, soutern.
Are you sure that the file /home/stefano/desura/desura is really an executable programme file?
Setting a file to rwx for owner, group and others does not make a file an executable programme file. will display what Linux thinks about the file type of this file.
As bash already identified the file desura as a binary file, the command file should identify it as some kind of ELF executable.
The ELF type must match your system:
On a 32-bit system you can only run 32-bit ELF executables, no 64-bit ELF executables.
On a 64-bit system you can run 64-bit ELF executables and 32-bit ELF executables.
As you told us in your initial post you are on Mint 13 32-bit.
Kind regards,
Karl

Hello Karichen,
your help was very helpful. eheheh. I ran the command that you posted and i could see that the file is an ELF 64bit. I downloaded the 32bit file.
Thanks for your help.
