Mounting an HFS+ drive on linux

Question

Today I tried to open an old hard drive which I has hfs+ on it (no journaling). I installed hfsprogs and tried it with:

sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda2 /mnt 

Normally this would work fine but for some reason I get this error:

column: hfsplus: No such file or directory
column: /dev/sda2: Permission denied
column: read failed: Is a directory

I know the disk is readable and that the file system is intact (tested it with a friend's mac) and hfsprogs is correctly intalled. I find it weird that it already errors on hfsprogs: no such file or directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

note: i have looked at similar questions but as far as i could see, nobody has had this error before where hfsplus could not even be found.
