Install vw 7.5 on Ubuntu 64 bit O.S.

Hi list,

i'm interested to load VW 7.5 on Ubuntu 64 bit Operating System.

I do it from CD with VW 7.5 NC,

but when start command ./installUnix the system answer:

|    dario@Monviso:/media/cdrom$ sudo ./installUnix
|[sudo] password for dario:
|    exec: 45: ./vw7.5nc/bin/linux86/visual: not found
|    The virtual machine for your platform:
|        ./vw7.5nc/bin/linux86/visual
|        exists but cannot be executed.  The file system/CDROM containing
|    the virtual machine must provide execute permissions.
|    Please remount the file system/CDROM and try again.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Dario

You need to mount your CD-ROM with execute permissions. By default, CD's are mounted as noexec. I'm not sure of the best way to do that on Ubuntu.

Absolutely right. You should consult the man page of the mount command
and use ls -l to find out whether the execute bit has been set after
trying to mount again.
The error message already says it all. (Btw: Fool proof way would be to
copy the CDs contents to the harddisk and then run
chmod a=rwx -R directoryWhereTheCdIs
That ought to fix it. If it doesn't I'd suggest posting to a more
appropriate group..
Generally this is not really a subject for this mailing list as it is a
pretty standard linux question that should be quite easy to solve even
without posting to any
newsgroup.
