Hi
Use sh before the file name eg;
You could also make it executable and then execute like this;
Code:
chmod 755 googleearth.bin
../googleearth.bin

Re: How to install a .bin file
depends on what it is. Some can be run by making them executable,some
can be installed via CLI & some just copy/paste to the location. What is
the file name ?

Code:
sh googleearth.bin
"
when I use sh and the files name it says that there is no such file.
What do I do in that case?:(
Maybe it would help if you knew a little more.
I need to install Real Player 11 since Kaffine is out of order and
Realplayer 10 which Yast tells me is installed but it doesn't start. So
I download Realplayer 11 the linux version from their website. Then
Firefox saved it as RealPlayer11GOLD.bin on my desktop. If you single
click on it ask which program to start with this file. If I look at
Properties I find
General
RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
Type: Exacutable File
Location: /home/Mattias/Desktop
Size: 7.5 MB
What do I have to do to get it working?

Re: How to install a .bin file
Why not use the rpm ? it's on their web-page 'RealPlayer for Linux - the
best audio and video player - Real.com' (http://www.real.com/linux)

Hi
Looks like that one needs chmoding
Code:
chmod 755
../RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
As an aside, I would look at creating a download directory in your home
directory for firefox to download too.
