Hey so also, check the permissions.

That's one of those things that I often forget to do when I see an error like that.

So do an
Code:
ls -la
in the /bin/64/ directory

if you don't see an at all in the "drwxrwxrwx" permissions column, then it's not executable.  You can chmod it:

Just do 755:
Code:
chmod 755 bitcoin

(make sure you're in that directory, or declare the full path)

Don't mean to be patronizing to the original poster - this is directed at all who google this -  I just love this bitcoin idea, and I want to see more people use it, so if there are some linux newbs out there, I wouldn't want a simple permissions problem to stop them from trying it out.

Then as xlcus pointed out, you may still have to execute it as
Code:
./bitcoin

Cheers,

Kevin
