No BASH commands [SOLVED]

[dienasty13]

I have been trying to just run the following command(S):

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
./autogen.sh
bash: ./autogen.sh: Permission denied

# I then try "sudo"

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo: ./autogen.sh: command not found
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I ran into this problem earlier today and changed some things around, which seemed to fix the issue. Rebooted and am attempting to run the bash command again and still am back to square one. Worst of all, tried the same thing and nothing is working.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
echo $PATH

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Changed this by using the following command:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
export PATH=$PATH:/path/name

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Ran into another forum mentioning to look at the .bash_profile and what not. Mine appeared to be blank after running this command:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
vi .bash_profile
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Lots of info, Highly confused.....

Thanks in advance,

I would suspect that you are not the owner of that particular autogen.sh script or do not have rights to execute it or are not in the right folder when you run the command.

./autogen.sh is just looking for an executable script called autogen.sh in the current folder and trying to run it.

Give us a bit more of a clue as to the context (i.e. why you need to run the script and where is it from) and we might be able to help you.

Figure shows the result of the search for "autogen.sh ".

Each file "autogen.sh " found has different content.
For what purpose do you need to run this file? Which one would be right?

do not have rights to execute it

That there is your problem OP. Run

Code: Select all

chmod u+x autogen.sh

and after that you can execute it.

Thanks for all the relply's folks!

I have some software that I downloaded. I am trying to run the executable files within the source folder to make the program.


I am located in the directory where the source files are contained. Seems like I may have done something through the terminal to prevent the bash commands to be found.

Thanks in advance!

Trying this code results in some interesting results:

I apologize for the confusion. Looks like these files above are binaries.

But the code does work for scripts! Thanks, but I did not have to use this code before. Now I have to use "chmod" every time?

How did we get from autogen.sh to raven-qt? Anyway, do as you did in the OP, you always need to provide a path:

Code: Select all

./raven-qt

[Lord Boltar]

I can see from your previous you have run the following

./autogen.sh

bash: ./autogen.sh: Permission denied

# I then try "sudo"

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo: ./autogen.sh: command not found

the above are not correct syntax
to run the Bash - usually it is - sudo bash ./autogen.sh

hope this helps

Yes this works!! Thank you! Learning to just only use the terminal. Very challenging for me.


Apologize for the confusion. I am attempting to build programs from their source files TO LEARN. Just nothing like windows, so my lingo and concepts are all backwards.
