Can't run vortex-diag which I compiled for my NIC

[Sport]

This program requires that it be run as a 'root' user.

I have found entries that mention 'sudo'. I have tried that to no avail. I have also given 'root' a password and doing the ctrl-alt-F1 ctrl-alt-F5 thing.

I can see the program with 'ls'. When in a "Konsole shell' it gives me that message. When I try it in a 'Root Shell' I can see the file with 'ls' but it says the command is not found'

The file is owned by 'knoppix' userid and has all of the authority bits on.

Can someone please assist me?

Thanks,
Charlie Patterson

check that the 'x' attributes are set with "ls -l".

do
sudo /full/path/to/command
as user knoppix.

or in the root shell
/full/path/to/command

it is not really neccessary to give the full path, you may also give the relative path. if the program is in the current (working) directory use "./command".

hmmm, hope this helps,
fred.

Hello Fred,

The use of ./ program name worked just fine.

Thanks a lot,
