I've been trying to install Freemind from source, but I keep facing this error. Any ideas? I am already using sudo, so I don't get the "permission denied" message. 

hache_g@HgFrida:~/Desktop/freemind$ sudo ant dist
Buildfile: /home/hache_g/Desktop/freemind/build.xml
init:
[echo] FreeMind Version = 1.0.1, build 16.
[echo] Checking for duplicate Resource strings

BUILD FAILED

  • What are the permissions on the script? – mttdbrd Sep 09 '16 at 21:24
  • You should provide more details about what you did to get the sources and how you installed them.The file is probably simply not not executable. Try to fix that via `chown +x /home/hache_g/Desktop/freemind/check_for_duplicate_resources.sh`. Using sudo for compilation should never be necessary. – vboerchers Sep 11 '16 at 23:45
  • @mttdbrd These are the script's permissions: hache_g@HgFrida:~/Desktop/freemind$ ls -l total 12628 -rw-r--r-- 1 hache_g hache_g 300 abr 12 2014 check_for_duplicate_resources.sh – hachege Sep 13 '16 at 03:23
  • @vboerchers I tried to use chown but this showed up:chown: invalid user: ‘+x’I don't know where should I put the new user (I believe that's the problem). I got the sources from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/files/ I learned from the readme.txt that I needed to install ant to install the software, and it also said that simply running ant dist would do the job. It didn't. – hachege Sep 13 '16 at 03:28
  • I've got it running with chmod =) So, thank you @mttdbrd. There's only one additional issue: I can't find freemind in my applications section in Ubuntu. Why would that be? Y can only run it by executing ant run inside freemind's directory through bash. – hachege Sep 13 '16 at 15:22
  • @hachege The Ubuntu menu only knows about programs that you tell them about. The Debian/Ubuntu .deb packages take care of it but without a package you have to do it yourself. See e. g. http://askubuntu.com/questions/407708/how-to-create-a-menu-item-for-eclipse-in-ubuntu-13-10 for how to do that – vboerchers Sep 14 '16 at 12:23
