But the essence of the problem appears to be
me@it ~ $ /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin
bash: /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin: No such file or directory
[127]me@it ~ $ lsalh /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 44K Mar 6 2012
/usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin
me@it ~ $ sudo /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin
sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin: No such
file or directory
me@it ~ $ groups
me sudo staff lpadmin
How is it possible that `ls` can list a file, but `bash` says "No such file"?
Note that everything else seems to work on this box, which FWIW is
me@it ~ $ uname -a
Linux it 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
me@it ~ $ cat /etc/debian_version
jessie/sid
so it's not like the box is "just broken." FWIW,
/usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin is 32-bit, while the rest of the box is
64-bit. I don't see how that could cause *this* problem, but that's the only thing
unusual about /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin (of which I'm aware).
desperately confused, Tom Roche <tom_ro...@pobox.com>
I don't have a firefox-<anything>. My firefox-bin is in
/usr/lib/iceweasel where it is a link to iceweasel. Clearly you have
installed firefox on your own and not from the normal repositories.
The problem you have may be related to the firebox-bin not being able to
find the files it needs. Bash may be finding the firefox-bin file but
not an essential library.
