I am from Mac background trying my hand at installing perforce client visual(P4V) on my linux box.For this I download the correct version here and untar the files.
Then I cd to the directory
Then I cd to the directory
~/Desktop/p4v-2012-blah-blah/bin
I also say
After this i try running p4v (by double clicking) but I dont see anything .The file type is shown as a 'text executable' but i dont know why it is not running.On mac i had done the same thing -just clicked on p4v and the client would show up(where I filled the server address and everything )But not sure what is going wrong here.Can someone give me directions?
FWIW i did check out this link and I do see the desktop (so GNOME is probably installed ?) .Hence p4v should be able to run.

You may have a 64bit Linux and tried to install a x86 P4V or vice versa, which is why the command doesn't run. Check that the OS and app types match.
