I am running pb 6.00lts in Fedora linux. I have a program that has compiled and run before, and compiles and runs now. When I make an executable stand alone program however, it generates a program that linux says it is a "manual page" and tries to load it into an editor, rather than execute it. If I look at the properties, under permissions it has "allow file to run as a progr" is checked as it should be. I am pretty sure it compled correctly as it is 168k in length and the editor program shows gibberish rather than text. I would appreciate any help on either straightening my settings our or getting linux to identify the compiled program correctly.
Thanks,
John

It is definitely not PB. It appears that the file managers (thunar and caja) are misidentifying the executable. It runs fine when started from the command line. Caja says it is a manual, but offers a choice of displaying it or running it. If running it is chosen, it runs.
