Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

Hi, I'm new in Archlinux and I've found a ridiculous problem after install enlightenment.

I have put:
exec /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start
on ~/.xinitrc, but drops the error:
-bash: /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start: No such file or directory
but the file IS there!! I can see it in the directory, and I can tab the command, but bash don't found it...

I tryed others binaries in the directory and works, but only the *-config, the others don't work, no one.

Please, anyone know why can happen this?? I'm getting mad trying to find a solution...

PD.: Sorry for my poor english ^_^

Re: Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

is this error still there when you log out of your user account and log back in? It might just be some wierd "PATH not being updated" error.

Yeah I do some reboots and the problem persist, even if use the absolute path (/opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start) bash doesn't found the file.

Re: Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

Do you have execute right on this file?
in other words, what does

$ ls -l /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start

show?

Re: Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

Of course is in the right directory, that's the point, I've seen it in /opt/e17/bin.

If you want the ls output, I will post it when arrive to my house.

Oh, I forgot mention it before, I've installed e17-cvs and entrance-cvs from takhis 64bits repo.

Re: Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

I didn't ask if it was in the right directory... I asked if it had the right permissions...
Therefore, please post the output when you get home

Re: Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

Sorry for the mistake

[terseus@terseus-pc ~] ls -l /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8908 Mar 11 14:55 /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start

I think the permissions are right, I tryed with root but doesn't work.

PD.: The webpage of Archlinux is really great! The site and the forum work perfectly even from links

Re: Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

I don't know if this helps, but I have the same file in the same place with the same permissions. The only difference in my .xinitrc file is that I don't have 'exec' before '/opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start', and it works.
