When I try to execute a file call example.exe I get such message: bash: ./first.exe: Permission denied so I use chmod a+rx to change the file permisssion and here is the result: -rwxrwxrwx 1 chen41 mkgroup-l-d 11241 May 6 18:40 first.exe. But when I type ./first.exe(or first) I still get the same message: bash: ./first.exe: Permission denied. What am I supposed to do now? Thank all for the help, Li __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
