hello.
Trying to program an IC-R5 scanner without using windoze. It was suggested to try:
Downloading and Installing tk5 on Linux
failing miserably, please be patient as I am relatively a newb:
Q1) how do I even know what the configuration of the serial port is? (I didnt see anything in YAST, Hardware)
The installation instruction (Step 5 Copied below):
Define and export tk5, a new environment variable to point to the installation subdirectory just created.
tk5=/home/username/tk5/tk5.0.6
export tk5
To make the change permanent, you must add the two lines above to your shell's profile, e.g., /home/username/.bash_profile if you use the bash shell.
I didnt see a /.bash_profile other than .bashrc
When I try to launch the application directly I get the following error:
username:~/tk5/tk5.0.6> ./tk5.bat
bash: ./tk5.bat: Permission denied
when I look at the permissions of the directory I get the following:
linux-pd:/home/username/tk5/tk5.0.6 # ls -l
total 356

Q2) any suggestion on how to attack the problem?
thanks for your time
