I seem to be stuck - AGAIN, so sorry to be such a nuisance.
When I try to open QCAD from Terminal I get this output:-
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~$ cd qcad-3.4.6-linux-x86_32
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/qcad-3.4.6-linux-x86_32$ ./qcad
bash: ./qcad: Permission denied
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/qcad-3.4.6-linux-x86_32$ sudo ./qcad
[sudo] password for ray:
sudo: ./qcad: command not found
Command 'ls' produces:-
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/qcad-3.4.6-linux-x86_32$ ls

First, please check that you have downloaded an installed the correct package (32bit or 64bit):
'x86_64' means you're on a 64bit Linux system.
'i686' means you're on a 32bit system.
I assume you have downloaded and extracted the .tar.gz package. When doing so, you have to make sure that permissions are not lost:
- Extract the archive as regular user (not as root)
- Extract the archive with the following command:

Decided to start again! Bought 3.12.6 Pro as my old one was well out of date.
When I tried your fix above with the old 3.4.6 got qcad running OK but after downloading the new Pro version I got this output:-
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~$ tar xfvz qcad-3.12.6-pro-linux-x86_32.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
What am I doing wrong?

The downloaded file is not complete or corrupt. Just some wild guesses: download not yet complete, download interrupted or disk full?
The complete file size should be:
And the checksum:
The complete file size should be:
Code: Select all
ls -la qcad-3.12.6-pro-linux-x86_32.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 ... ... 88691969 Jan 28 17:49 qcad-3.12.6-pro-linux-x86_32.tar.gz

Downloaded again, file size and checksum correct.
After input of 'tar xfvz qcad-3.12.6-pro-linux-x86_32.tar.gz', and after loading stopped I did:-
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~$ ./qcad
bash: ./qcad: No such file or directory
What should I have done to get QCAD to open?
