Title: Running a binary from Terminal
Hi,
I need help on running a binary from the command line ... in the
terminal window ... bash shell ...
I have downloaded a MAC OS X compiled binary as a compressed
.gz file. The file is fgfs-0.9.3-11-22-03.gz, about 1.5MB,
see FlightGear.org, Download Application, search down to MAC section ;-))
It has been un-gz-ed, in a folder /Flightgear, thus I now have a file
fgfs-0.9.3-11-22-03, which is about 5.5MB.
I read in one of the readme's that I should do the command -
$ chmod +x fgfs-0.9.3-11-22-03
It seems you have to su:password, to do this? But it also
appears already marked 'x' by the stuffit unpacking, so
not sure if this command is necessary ...
And when I do a command
$ ls -l fgfs-0.9.3*
it shows that the file has been marked with an x in root,
user, and world, ie -rwxrwxrwx
But when I enter the name, as a command -
$ fgfs-0.9.3-11-22-03
the system reports 'command not found' ... yuk!
And have tried -
$ fgfs-0.9.3-11-22-03 --fg-root=/Flightgear/data
but nothing ...
And -
$ fgfs-0.9.3-11-22-03 --help
Can anyone help? Has anyone specifically run the
Flightgear MAC binary in OS X?
Thanks in anticipation ...
Kanlisha
