Did you change the execute permissions? You need to set the file to execute, which is why you need to use the chmod command (or edit the properties by way of right click).
Here is the gui way of editing the execute bit of a file for mandriva (as found on their wiki).
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/PermissionsTo set file permissions in a GUI:
1. Open the GUI
2. Navigate to the file you wish to change
3. Right-click on the file in question
4. Click on the "Properties" menu item or press Alt+Return
5. Click on the "Permissions" tab
6. Use the pick lists to set read/write permissions for the three entities
7. Use the checkbox to determine whether the file is executable or not
If you want to do it via command line, follow these steps. Download the zip (or move it) to your desktop. Unzip it, the file should be named GameEditor. Run a terminal, and type the following commands.
- Code: Select all
cd Desktop/GameEditor
- Code: Select all
chmod +x gameEditorLinux
- Code: Select all
./gameEditorLinux
That should set the file up, and the last one should run it.
