Hi,

When I opening a binary file, I got the "Could not open" dialog with below 
error:

Failed to open and attach to process, please check priviledges and try again.

(it should be privileges instead of priviledges)

Steps to reproduce:
- Start edb and open a binary file with File --> Open
- Or open it directly from Terminal: edb --run /path/to/binary/file

Build date & platform:

dev-util/edb [1]
     Available versions:  (~)0.9.17!m!s
     Installed versions:  0.9.17!m!s(06:48:39 PM 04/17/2011)

     Description:         EDB "Evan's Debugger" (OllyDbg workalike for Linux)

on Gentoo r10 - 2.6.31

an you give a little more detail? Does this happen for all binaries or just a 
select few?

Does "edb --run /bin/ls" work?

Is this on an amd64 or x86 box. Let me know, and I'll do my best to figure it 
out.

It just happen with a binary file that is suspected to be a malware (I will 
email you the link to download if you need to reproduce). "edb --run /bin/ls" 
works fine. My platform: x86.

Yes a link to or a copy of the binary would be helpful since ordinary binaries 
appear to work fine.

It is possible that this particular binary uses some anti-debugger techniques. 
In which case, it would be nice if edb could work around them :-).
