I own a Sheevaplug (an ARM embedded pc) running Debian squeeze. Can I install FOP2 using the Raspberrypi tarball? I tried and the installation gave no errors: however, when trying to run the server it says "-bash: /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server: No such file or directory" even though the file is actually there.

If the Raspberrypi tarball does not work on other devices is there any other way to install it on other arm devices now that is has been ported to at least one arm device?

Thank you.

Thank you Nicolas. I did check permissions. I am running as root and did a chmod +x. I also did a chmod 777 for good measure. Still getting "-bash: /usr/local/fop2_server: No such file or directory". I deleted the directory, reinstalled with make install and still get the same error. The file is definitely there and I can open it with nano or make a copy with cp. The size is 15100268 blocks. I only get the error when I try to run it. I have never encountered this before with any other file/installation. Any idea of what's going on?

This is the line in my /etc/fstab: "tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0"

I did a strace and here is the output:

"execve("./fop2_server", ["./fop2_server"], [/* 15 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
dup(2) = 3
fcntl64(3, "

I also googled around for similar errors running executables and ran "readelf -a ./fop2_server". I have no idea what this really does but among the lines of output I got this one that caught my eye "[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3] "

It sounds to me like your tarball was specifically compiled for debian hardfloat arm architectures only. like the RaspberryPi, so it will not run on Sheevaplugs or many other devices that have normal debian. Any chance you will find ways to port it to debian soft float or let users compile it from source on their machines directly?
