When I try to run bcfg using ./bcfg with appropriate user permissions, it gives an error stating that file isn't found or directly doesn't exist?
Did I not install properly?

You state using /bcfg? Isn't the executable that you have actually named >./bcfg4? When I load BBBS config here I use "./bcfg4 0".

Try "ls -al" to see if those files are executable. You may just have to "chmod >+x bcfg4" since the file seems to be there.

Hello Chad,
cadams@irc:/var/opt/bbbs$
Ok, you installed BBBS to the /var/opt/bbbs directory? Who owns the >/var/opt/bbbs directory? It appears that you are running BBBS as user
"irc". At a command prompt do a "ls -l -d /var/opt/bbbs" to see the ownership
and current permissions of the directory where you have BBBS installed.
Here everything in /var/opt is owned by root. And here BBBS is run as user bbbs
and BBBS is installed at /home/bbbs and a "ls -l -d /home/bbbs" shows:
drwxr-xr-x 58 bbbs bbbs 20480 Nov 23 23:00 /home/bbbs
Which shows that /home/bbbs is owned by group "bbbs" and user "bbbs" and >drwxr-xr-x means:
"d" means the subject is a directory and not a file.
"rwx" means the directory's owner "bbbs" can list its contents, create new >files within it, and descend into it.
"r-x" means members of the directory's group can list its contents and descend >into it
"r-x" means other users can list the directory's contents and descend into it
And a ls -l /home/bbbs/bcfg4 shows
-rwxrwxr-x 1 bbbs bbbs 278528 Dec 13 2016 /home/bbbs/bcfg4
The first "-" means that it is a file and not a directory.
"r" means that user "bbbs" has read access
"w" means that user "bbbs" has write access
"x" means that user "bbbs" has execute access.

That should be "chmod -R 777 *", not chown. You may have just changed ownership
to user "777" with what you did above.

That should have said untarred, not untested. Autocorrect.
I'm starting to this this build is either bad, or doesn't work on ubuntu >(which I doubt since others have run it on Ubuntu, and Debian variants)

Yea whatever the name is is what I used. Basically, all the Linux executables say no file Or path found when you try to execute them on Ubuntu. I tried all of the executables. Bbbs bbbsd, bcfg file, etc.
I don't know what. I am not a newbie Linux user. I have ensured permissions were correct, both file and directory. I redownloaded the file from bbbs website, same thing. Tried multiple times.

this sounds like you're trying to run 32bit on a 64bit system that has no 32bit
support... what does the following tell you?
file /var/opt/bbbs/bcfg4
also take a look with ldd...
ldd /var/opt/bbbs/bcfg4
file will tell you if it is 32bit or 64bit... ldd will tell you if you are >maybe missing some libraries it is trying to load... ahhh, might better take a >look at permissions, too...
ls -la /var/opt/bbbs
FWIW: you really should apply those updates and security fixes to your linux ;)

Also, I tried every other executable.
You can see they are listed.
Hi Chad,
Also, I tried every other executable.
You can see they are listed.
My two cents...
First, have you defined the variable $BBBSDIR with the path to your bbbs >binaries?
Second, I assume the answer as yes but, are you sure that if your box is a >64bit linux, your bbbs bundle is 64bit too? If not, maybe you have to assure >that your 64bit linux has installed the 32bit compatibility layer (and maybe >you will have to add multiarch support too).
My extra coin is to validate that all is fine with your biinaries: try to stat,
file, ldd or strace over any of your binaries and review the output in order
to catch problems, insatisfied dependencies, etc..
Good luck, and let us now... ;-)

Fixed it - mark gave me what I needed.
So I was missing /lib/led-Linux.so.2
Install libc6 libraries which included that library and it worked fine.
Might need to put that in the docs that that library is needed because
the output doesn't really point to the right place.
Thanks for the info mark!
I had a library missing that bbbs relies on. Bbbs doesn't give a very

FWIW: that really isn't BBBS giving that error message... it is but it isn't...
it is the library code that emits that... something very similar is seen on
pure 64bit systems when trying to run 32bit binaries on them... basically it is
complaining that it cannot find the shared library that it needs so in a way,

And that's for Telling me about file which lead me to the issue.

No on running it from /home/cadams
I copied the gzip file from www.bbbs.net downloads for intel Linux. Untested into user cadams home sir. See pwd command. Extracted. Ran
both as local user and with sudo. File or directory error as before.
Running Ubuntu 16.04 server.

No, actually I installed BBBS here in the /home/bbbs directory. In
part to to avoid any ownership issues since everything in BBBS's home directory is owned by the user "bbbs". With BBBS the only time root
access might be required is when loading bbbsd so that it can bind to
the necessary <1024 ports. And even that can be avoided through port mapping.
I guess that's where I was pulling my hair. I read the docs and never found anything saying what libraries were needed to just get it to
run.
I just snagged that package and had the same results. Your next step would probably be to email/contact the author.

If i'm not mistake Kim told about that here in the echo when release
the version...
he might have but there's a lot of people that do not keep echomail over 30
days... plus, if you get a new operator setting up, they may not have access t
historical posts for various reasons (eg: not a fidonet member)...

The answer to all your questions is yes. It's 65 bit and etc.
I had a library missing that bbbs relies on. Bbbs doesn't give a very good error message so I found it by running file on the bbbs executable and seeing the library it needed. I installed the library, which is not default installed on Ubuntu server x64 an
I posted earlier and stated what I found.
