[CLUE-Cert] "No such file or directory"

[Ben Roe]

Hi,
I just loaded the KRUD distro (fresh), replacing my production load of RH7,
thinking I would get the latest fixes, etc.  

Well, I had made a dump of my RH7 install, which had WordPerfect 8 (and
Star Office).  I restored both of these trees from the dump (/usr/local/wp8
and /usr/local/office51).  Star Office starts up fine.  

However, WordPerfect is another story:  when I go into the directory where
the binary resides (/usr/local/wp8/wpbin/) and execute it (by typing ./xwp)
I get this error:

bash: ./xwp: No such file or directory

I get the same error when I type /usr/local/wp8/wpbin/xwp)

Here's the directory listing:

World executable.  

Same problem if I try to start it as root.

Interestingly, if I just type xwp, I get the expected "command not found":
[ben at k0yds wpbin]$ xwp
bash: xwp: command not found

The version of bash appears to be the same in this distro as it was in the
previous RH7 installation, which worked fine:
GNU bash, version 2.04.11(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)

Any thoughts?  What am I missing?

Is there a lesson in here somewhere about inodes and filenames?
