What are the file attributes of conv?
Is the file flagged as executable?
What is the output of the following command?:
If the permissions string does not have any x's in it, the file is not executable. That may cause the permission related error when trying to run conv.
If the permissions string looks something like this:
rwxr-xr-x
The file is already executable and the issue is something else.
But if the permissions look something like this:
rw-r--r--
The file is NOT executable and you will have to make the script executable by changing the permissions using chmod.
E.g.
And you'd need to do the same for any other scripts that are not flagged as executable.
Thinking offhand - if conv is already executable, it could be that one of the lines in the script is failing and causing that error message to be displayed. In which case you could try to debug the script in the terminal using the command:
That will output every line of the script that is executed and might yield some insight into where it is going wrong.
It could also be another script that requires executable permissions, or it could be that there is a program that is called by one of the scripts which is not installed on your Linux pc.
Other than that, there are a lot of other possibilities. Without being able to browse through the files myself, I'm not sure offhand what the problem might be!
If none of these suggestions help and you are completely stuck - feel free to PM me a .zip of the source code with any other relevant info and I'll happily take a look at it for you.
I am a professional software developer. I also tinker with free software in my spare time. If you do send any source code to me, I promise I will not do anything to damage the software or compromise / leak any private/confidential information it contains. I'll send back a zip containing any changes I make and when you're happy that the issue is fixed, I will securely delete any copies that I have when I am finished.
I've got the whole week off work this week - to spend some time with my wife and kids, but I should hopefully get some time to myself too, so I should be able to look it over at some point.
