hi there
i am a new bee >:(
i’ve downloaded eclipse, and untar the file. When i tried to run eclipse i get the message: bash: ./eclipse: Permission denied
i am using opensuse 11.1 x86_64
kernel: Linux 2.6.27.7-9-default x86_64
java: 1.6.0_11
eclipse rights: -rwxr-xr-x 1 hdayi users eclipse
and when i use the file command:
eclipse: ELF 64-bit LSB executable,
x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.6.4,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
For a quick fix, if you’re the only user on that machine, try
sudo chown -R <your username> /opt/eclipse
Got that from some other forums re: eclipse. The error message isn’t terribly helpful, but apparently, it’s a permissions problem.
If it’s a multiuser machine, you might have to change ownership to a common group and grant everyone in that group permissions. But at least this will tell you if that’s the problem.
You’re trying to Execute to execute a file… so is the Execute bit
set? If not then you don’t have permissions. As a note I downloaded
Eclipse 3.4 yesterday for x86_64, extracted it, and it had this bit set
so I’m not sure why yours would not. Run the following commands (in
order) and post the output and then try again (be sure you are in the
directory where the eclipse binary exists, of course):
ls -l ./eclipse
chmod +x ./eclipse
ls -l ./eclipse
Good luck.

You are user ‘hdayi’ on the machine, right? Strange… do you perhaps
have these files in a place where execution is disabled? Please post
the output from the following command and also tell us where in the
filesystem Eclipse resides (absolute path):
mount
Good luck.

i’ve copied eclipse to ntfs partition but i had the same message.

‘noexec’ means nothing in there can be executed. You copied it
somewhere you were allowed to execute. This is a security feature when
applied, typically, and makes sense for (at least) NTFS since nothing
there is generally executable in Linux, and if anything is it may be a
virus. Anyway you shouldn’t typically be playing in directories like
/opt unless it’s a system-wide application you’re using. In my case I
create ‘apps’ in my user’s home directory (/home/ab/apps) and then put
everything for myself in there. You do not have ‘noexec’ on your /home
partition so that should be fine for you as well.
Good luck.
