UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hey all,
I'm trying to execute a program and despite it appearing to be there, I keep getting this:

Code:

-bash: ./aisdispatcher: No such file or directory

To run it, I'm going into the directory where it is stored and running

Code:

./aisdispatcher

...the result of which should just be a listing of options and parameters for the command. Instead I keep getting the same error. All needed libraries are static compiled into the executable file. (according to the website)
I went as far as redownloading the file from the website using wget, the URL being http://www.aishub.net/downloads/aisd...her-1.0.tar.gz (in case you are feeling industrious.)
Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04, let me know if you want more info than that.

Can you post output of:

Code:

ls -b ais*

Code:

$ ls -b ais*
aisdispatcher

And

Code:

ls -l ais*

?

Here:

Code:

$ ls -l ais*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pierce pierce 748860 2009-03-26 08:32 aisdispatcher

What if you do ./aisdisp* ?

I'm wondering if there's spaces in the filename or something. Try using tab-completion too, see what pops up.

No dice, good thought though.
