That means that you missed a few commands.  I made a sure-fire way to get it done every time.  Try this:
Code:
cd /usr/bin/
wget http://kano-kun.net/AntS1/cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
chmod +x cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
mv cgminer cgminer.original
rm cgminer
ln -s cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c cgminer
reboot

My newly arrived S1 refused to mine. I checked from the web setup that I can ping my pool from the miner, so my IP connectivity is good.

I then did some research and came across this thread. I used the procedure to update cgminer and now I get this when checking the version:

Code:
root@antMiner:~# cgminer -V
-ash: cgminer: not found

This has me very worried! I'm not very good with Linux and I need to get this fixed so that I can get to mining.

Any and all help is appreciated!

OK I got brave and fixed it myself!

When I did an ls I saw that cgminer was there but it was not marked as executable. it seems that the "ln -s" command did not copy over the executable attribute. I removed the cgminer that was there and then used "cp" and I can now see that the version has changed to 4.3.2a

However, my miner is still not mining. :-(

When I check the list of processes I don't see cgminer in there anywhere, that seems to be a reasonable answer to the problem, but not sure how to fix that!
