[SOLVED] Problems to run a .run file

[ferran]

Hello everybody:

I now how to run  .run file but... not this one 

I've download the Foxit Reader for open PDF files, after descompressed with tar into /tc/Downloads I looks this:

FoxitReader. enu.setup.2.4.4.0910(r057d814).x86.run

well, then I did

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x FoxitReader. enu.setup.2.4.4.0910(r057d814).x86.run
but i get this
sh: syntax error: unexpected "("

and now what can i do?

Hi ferran
It's interpreting the  (  character as part a command. It will probably try doing that with the  )  character too. Try  escaping  them like this:

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x FoxitReader. enu.setup.2.4.4.0910\(r057d814\).x86.run

Hi ferran

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x FoxitReader. enu.setup.2.4.4.0910\(r057d814\).x86.run

I think you have an extra space between  FoxitReader.  and  enu.  It should probably look like this:

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.4.0910\(r057d814\).x86.run
If you really have a  space  embedded in the file name, you should do it like this:

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x "FoxitReader. enu.setup.2.4.4.0910\(r057d814\).x86.run"
That's the 32 bit version of FoxitReader. I tried that version. It looks nice but it's very resource hungry. I run a much older version that
suits my needs just fine. If you want to try the older version (32 bit only) there is a script here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23493.0.html
The script downloads the older version and creates a  .tcz  for you. It's only 4 Mbytes in size.

Thank you very much again Rich

Finally I found into Apps the evince.tcz. It's only 625 Kbytes and able to read PDF files. It works so fine to me

Thanks to juanito for having updated this extension

This Q&A is [Solved] for myself
