Title: Core 9.0 Question Post by: eastpk on March 20, 2014, 10:22:18 AM So I tried downloading Core yesterday on my Linux Mint machine. All went well and the download completed - however when I try to open the bitcoinQT executable it gives me an error, it looks like it isn't even an executable. I'm not very familiar with Mint, does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks :) Title: Re: Core 9.0 Question Post by: erono on March 20, 2014, 11:05:42 AM I have some error with Linux machine OS as well.

I think there is some bug and dev need to settle I also try but after completing download its not working Title: Re: Core 9.0 Question Post by: eastpk on March 20, 2014, 02:02:57 PM I didnt even plan on updating so soon, just wanted to see if it was possible. However when I open the QT file, just gives me a weird error - when I look at the past versions it seems that the Bitcoin-QT is an executable, but this time it is not. I'll just keep waiting until we hear something back - hopefully we do!
Title: Re: Core 9.0 Question Post by: Foxpup on March 21, 2014, 02:28:22 AM It was compiled with memory address randomisation, which causes some utilities to misidentify it as a shared library rather than an application. This is bug in said utilities. The correct way to tell the difference between a shared library and an application (they're actually the exact same file format) is by the presence of the executable flag (which bitcoin-qt has and actual shared libraries do not). If you have problems running bitcoin-qt, try running exec /path/to/bitcoin-qt from a shell or shell script instead (and report any errors, if that fails).
