Permission Denied

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I followed the posted steps for installing flyback and everything went fine
to the point where I entered ./flyback.py

When i enter the above command, it says "bash: ./flyback.py: Permission denied"

I checked the permissions on the file to make sure and I have full
read/write permission. I tried logging in as root, but same error persisted.

How can I fix this?

Thnx

How to use FlyBack

To use the GUI, run like this:

$ python flyback.py

To perform a GUI-less backup, run like this:

$ python flyback.py --backup

to run with "./flyback.py", as with all executables, the execute bit must be 
set.  see:

bash-3.1$ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek 14346 Nov 15 00:22 backup_backend.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek  3271 Nov 15 00:22 config_backend.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek  6230 Nov 15 00:22 desktop.py
-rwxr-xr-x 1 derek derek 32806 Nov 15 00:22 flyback.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek 15124 Nov 15 00:22 GPL.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek  4212 Nov 15 00:22 help_data.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek  6497 Nov 15 00:22 opengl_viewer.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 derek derek 60221 Nov 15 00:22 viewer.glade

note the "x"s for flyback.py.

if your execute bits are not set, run this:
chmod +x flyback.py 

running via "python flyback.py" doesn't require this, thus is the more universal
answer.  but it's a personal preference.  (the first way is just a shortcut for 
the
second, btw.  there is no execution difference)
