Problems installing Qt4 on Yellow Dog 5.0

[bizmopeen]

Hello, all;

I'm trying to install Qt4 on my Yellow Dog 5 partition on my Mac G4 PPC using the following commands:

chmod u+x qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.02.bin
./qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.02.bin

chmod u+x qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.02.bin
./qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.02.bin

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

...I am already logged in as root, but I get the following error:

bash: ./qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.02.bin: cannot execute binary file

bash: ./qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.02.bin: cannot execute binary file

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Can anyone provide any assistance on what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

make sure you didn't mount the drive with "noexec". Then it should work.

Thanks for the info! However, being a relative Linux newbie I could use a bit of explanation: how can I specify my system does not mount noexec? Do I need to change something in the system configuration files and then reboot? I appreciate the help...

Look at the file /etc/mtab. But that is only one possible reason. You can also try to run the installer as root: "sudo ./qt..." or use "sh qt...".
