Hi,

Maybe you need to chmod it:

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /path/to/standalone
There's also a properties window for files in Ubuntu, which contains some useful settings for executables (such as setting to run instead of open as file).

Best,

Mark

Yes, you need to set its executable bit. That's done in the Properties dialog. This is a very common operation in Linux, a lot of apps you download need to be set -- including, often, LiveCode itself.
