Cannot run any executables under Debian2.0 - Help(newbie)
Hi,
let me explain this as best as I can -
Problem:
----------
I had installed Yggdrasil Linux long time ago and everything on
that setup worked ok.
Recently, I upgraded to Debian2.0 and none of my executables or
Perl scripts are working anymore. I get
bash: filename: command not found
Background:
-----------
Within Debian, I did not create a /home dir. I wanted to use my
existing Yggdrasil /home with all my files intact when I ran
Debian.
So, within Debian /etc/fstab, I added the following:
/dev/hdc4 /home ext2 defaults
Now, I could see all my files.
Since I was logged on with a different username, I did the
following to change file permissions:
chown -R rathon /home/guest (as root, username=rathon)
Now, I could open up any file and edit as I needed in my /home/guest
dir.
As I mentioned earlier, Perl scripts that worked on Ygg do not
work on Debian. I get a 'command not found'
I did a env and got this:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:
I could do 'which Perl' and see the path being /usr/bin/perl. Same
as my Ygg path for Perl. So I was sure Perl got detected right.
So I wanted to do a test to see if this is Perl specific or not.
I wrote a 3 line 'C' code and compiled it using gcc. This gave
me a 'a.out' file(no error in compiling). When I run the file, I
get:
bash:a.out:command not found
So, my present setup(Debian)WILL NOT allow any executables to run!
I checked my permission and that was ok. I even did a chmod 777 on
my file and that did not work.
Additional info:
---------------
I am giving some additional info in the hopes that someone can
point me in the right direction. I have a feeling that I did not
move my /home dir from Ygg to Debian properly.
If I do a ls -l:
-rw-r--r-- 1 rathon users 64 Oct12 10:44 test.c
-rwxrwxr-x 1 rathon rathon 4157 Oct12 10:44 a.out
Notice that the gid changed when I compiled the file ? Is that normal
to get uid and gid the same ??
In /etc/group:
--------------
rathon:x:1000:
users:x:100:
In /etc/passwd:
---------------
rathon:x:1000:1000: and more stuffs...
Why is the gid different in /group vs /passwd ??
Sorry for the details but I needed to explain clearly.
Pls help.
Rathon.
