hi
when i launch the binary file of 64 bit version of atk in a linux system it says permission denied
on googling i found some SELinux systems may not allow to launch the software after installing it
however i am not able to install the software itself
i am using debian 5.0 with 6GB ram
my computer meets all the system requirements
also 32 bit version installs without any problem
kindly help

that is while launching atk for the first time after installation i think
but i am not even able to launch the installer itself
there is no atkpython itself in my comp
-
??? Either you can install it ("launch ATK after installation") or you can't install ("not able to launch installer"). Both cannot be true at the same time :)
If you can't launch the installer, check that it has executable permissions (chmod u+x atk*).

sorry for my confusing first post
i am not able to launch the installer itself
chmod u+x gives nothing
it just goes to the next line
also for some reason if i try to execute the binary installer it was showing "Permission Denied" but now it shows "Could not execute the binary file"

Hard to say, maybe the download was corrupted?
The "chmod" command will not say anything, but it will change the attributes of the file to allow execution by the current user. You can check them by "ll atk*", you should see something like "-rwxr--r--" in front of the ATK installer binary. If not, try "chmod u+rwx atk*".
How do you run the installer? You should say "./atk-<fullname_of_installer>" unless "." is in your path. Or double-click it in a file manager.
Run the installer as superuser if you plan to install it system-wide, otherwise don't use "sudo" or "su". If you install as root/su, you may need "chmod a+rwx atk*" instead.

Hi
i tried chmod u+rwx atk* as well but still the problem exists
if i double click it says "Couldnt display atk.bin"
also i have tried downloading thrice but still the problem exists
i dont think it is corrupted while downloading

But you could install the 32-bit version? So maybe your system is 32-bit? What does "uname -a" show?
-
uname -a shows
Linux debian 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Sat Nov 20 23:21:01 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
-
So it's a 32-bit machine (i686) or at least a 32-bit OS. You cannot install the 64-bit version of ATK on it.
You mentioned you have 6 Gb of RAM on the machine, but in that case you need a 64-bit OS to take advantage of it, since a 32-bit OS is limited to using about 3 Gb of RAM. Thus, with the current setup you cannot use the computer as intended.
