So my main rig has been dead for about a week now. It held the execoin wallet. I kept a backup but my only means of accesing it currently is via my linux rig.

I'm trying to figure out how to install the wallet on ubuntu 13.10. I install all the correct dependencies listed in the "readme-qt" settings. After that there are really no instructions. So I assumed I would just run the file via ./ but when I do this I get back the error saying permission denied.

I have tried it both in sudo and root with the same results.

Any suggestions?

Try setting the binary to executable with the following command:

Code:
chmod 755 filename

Replace filename with the actual name of the file you're trying to execute.

I've tried that along with +x instead of 755, both with no luck. That's simply trying to run the built executable for ubuntu 12.04. I have the source and dependencies installed, I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to do after that. The instructions that I was directed to for the qt wallet seems to just list the dependencies needed for installation. As far as I can tell it doesn't list a specific file I need to run.

I believe that's the supposed readme for what I want to install.

So what steps did you take after installing the dependencies? Did you compile it with qmake and then make? What was the output of compiling?

That's the problem. qmake what and in which directory? There are multiple directories in the source download, along with multiple files. That was the part I was unclear about.

Just the main directory of the source. 'cd' into that directory and then type 'qmake' and press enter. Then type 'make' and press enter. A bunch of text should scroll by and hopefully at the end you have an executable built.

Code:
git clone https://github.com/execoin/execoin
cd execoin
qmake
make
