I've added the link you gave to the Downloads page, so I think this closes the bug.

Ha! we were simultaneously editing this bug. You pressed Submit first...
It will be good to use the 2.0.4 candidate - it has a fairly important bug fix and some very nice enhancements. And you will be helping us ensure there are no problems lurking there. Install it from:

http://denemo.org/~jjbenham/gub/uploads/denemo-0.0.0-0.linux-x86.tar.xz

No problem - if you find out more, you will help others by updating this bug.
I understand the (gulp), however, although the instructions on denemo.org speak of installing as root (which does have the potential to disturb other software) you can do the configuring and making and installing entirely as a normal user which won't cause any problems.
The trick is
1) to specify where you want your new version of Denemo to be installed - somewhere in your home directory. You do this at the configure step, by passing a parameter - so configure is like this:

./configure --prefix=/home/william/mydenemo

2) making sure you run your own version of denemo not the one installed in the system (you could uninstall that to avoid errors). That is, you double click on the executable found at

/home/william/mydenemo/usr/bin/denemo

Having built it yourself, you don't need all the stuff that is in the Launch_Denemo script. But you would need to install LilyPond as a separate package. (And again, you may want to get an up-to-date version from lilypond.org).

Eureka!
I searched up 32 compatibility and found the following article:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit
Had to do the following:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Now I can open it with a double click. Awesome! Thanks :-)

I'll do a search on 32-bit compatibility with a 64-bit machine running Ubuntu. And maybe take the plunge and try to build it from source...gulp :-)
Thanks for the suggestions.

So, you do have the executable it complains of, and you do have permission to execute it.

I used to have something similar when I was running an old Debian on a 64-bit machine - the binaries are compiled for 32-bit (as I understand it) and until I moved on to the current Debian stable (Jessie, 8) I couldn't run them out-of-the-box. In that case I got a highly misleading message from the shell saying the executable didn't exist.
Generally, as I understand it Ubuntu keeps ahead of Debian, so it seems unlikely it can't run 32-bit executables without further help. I guess you could ask on a Ubuntu forum...

Another thought: I had no problem whatsoever building it from source following the instructions on denemo.org - you install a list of packages as where it says:

On .deb systems you can run as root:

and then issue a commands to configure make and install.

Thank you Richard for your quick reply. Here is what I'm getting:

ls -l /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas
-rwxr-xr-x 1 william william 38984 Feb 6 02:13 /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas

ls -l /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/denemo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 william william 1615840 Feb 6 02:13 /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/denemo

I've just tested the latest denemo binary

http://denemo.org/~jjbenham/gub/uploads/denemo-0.0.0-0.linux-x86.tar.xz

and that worked properly.

Can you check if the file

/home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas

does actually exist? (use the command

ls -l /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas

to list it (from a terminal, which you can launch from the Accessories menu on some distros).

In fact, it seems to be claiming that you have no executable program there at all

ls -l /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/denemo

should list the Denemo executable itself. If you post the output of those commands that would help debug your problem.

I'm trying to install on Ubuntu 14. I admit I'm new to Ubuntu. I've used Denemo on both Mac and Windows. I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction? I've tried downloading the binary but when I run the .sh file I get the following. Any help is appreciated.

./Launch_Denemo.sh: line 10: /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas: No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/william/.fonts’: File exists
./Launch_Denemo.sh: line 33: /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/fc-cache: No such file or directory
./Launch_Denemo.sh: line 34: /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/pango-querymodules: No such file or directory
./Launch_Denemo.sh: line 35: /home/william/Downloads/denemo-2.0.2/usr/bin/denemo: No such file or directory

Thanks,
William
