I'm trying to run XPDF on a linux (probably red hat) OVH shared server.
I've managed to have ftp ssh access and put the 64 bits binaries onto a folder.
The problem is : even though the files are there with the right permissions, if I try running it I'm getting a file not found problem (I'm thinking about a missing link..)
Long story short :
myusername@ssh1:~/xpdf$ file pdftotext
pdftotext: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
myusername@ssh1:~/xpdf$ ./pdftotext
-ovh: jurisedi@ssh1:~/xpdf$: No such file or directory
Any ideas ?
1Why in the world are you pasting your command prompt at the start of your command line? – lanzz – 2012-06-13T07:15:27.940
1@paxdiablo It is apparent that this is something the user is doing. You can actually see it in the posted snippet:
jurisedi@ssh1:~/xpdf$ jurisedi@ssh1:~/xpdf$ ./pdftotext
I suspect a clumsy copy+paste job. – lanzz – 2012-06-13T07:22:10.613@paxdiablo No, it could not be. You can see in the snippet the actual command line entered before the command is executed; you can see what is wrong with that command line. – lanzz – 2012-06-13T07:27:47.867
Sorry about the failed paste, I'm glad you could figure it out. – None – 2012-06-13T07:50:50.410
2looks like pdftotext is running and returning FILE_NOT_FOUND. What does
ldd pdftotext
show? – None – 2012-06-13T14:42:57.937Okay ldd pdftotext returns "not a dynamic executable" =/ – None – 2012-06-15T08:16:09.933
