What up fellow OCers,

Just got an OCZ Raptor SSD and I loaded it up with a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit. Obviously the first thing I want to do with my new system is benchmark it 'specially cuz I got my e8400 @ 4.5ghz on air. Getting wonderful temps BTW... 30C idle, 47C load. Same OC setup could do pi 20 in 9s. But now I have a weird problem...

Whenever I (try to) run the super_pi.sh script, it tells me "./pi No such file or directory". The "pi" executable most certainly exists, it's in the same folder as the super_pi.sh script. I have downloaded the Super_PI package from 3 different sources and they all give me this same error. Running as sudo does not help.

I'm not a linux n00b by any means, the problem is not something as stupid as permissions or something like that. For good measure, I chmoded 777 everything and that doesn't change anything. I've downloaded and run super_pi on other linux systems without any problems.

Anyone have any idea whats going on?
 
That is the exact command that gives me the error. I've tried "./pi 20", "./super_pi 20", "sh super_pi.sh 20". All with the same results. I even went as far as adding the folder to my PATH. Like I said, I've had no trouble using this program on other linux distros. Seems to be a problem unique to Ubuntu 12.10.
 
I had the same problem. strace shows that exec on the file returns ENOENT.
Obviously the file does exist so I think it must be something the executable depends on that is missing.
