Subject: Installing Pine

I must be missing something simple, but I am too dense to see it!

I copied down the new Pine Binary for 3.96 (1 file).  I moved it to 
/usr/bin. and also ran it from my own directory.

When Pine is run (./newpine - my renamed binary file) the following message 
appears:

bash: ./newpine: No such file or directory

HELP!!!!

What am I missing?

I am running Linux 1.2.5 on a 486/66.

A. it's compiled, right? Not source code? (ls -F, if it doesn't show as
executeable..well, I cat it, but if it's binary it will mess up your
prompt big time :)  )

B. you have the permissions set--including (especially) execute? (ls -al)

C. you're in the correct directory, and the binary is in that directory?
(pwd and ls)

If so, I'm as stumped as you :)

Did you (or link) it to ~/ ? Is it executable for you?

Cheers,
