"Command not found..."

[johnmc]

I am familiar with Abyss, been using it for years on Windows hosts. But installing it on a Linux host has me stumped.

I have done the following steps under the root account:

1) Downloaded the tgz file.
2) Created a dir /var/www. Copied the tgz file to that dir.
3) Unpaced it -- tar xzfm abywsx1.tgz. That created a subdir called abyssws.
4) went to that subdir and attempted to run abyssws as follows ./abyssws. No go. Attempted to run as just abyssws.

Each time I try to run the code I get "Command not found" coming back from the shell. I can see the file and I checked ownership with ls -la . Everything seems right. And it is set to executable.

Anyone have a suggestion as to why I can run the abyssws file?

Thanks for your time....
