Zend Guard on Linux - No Such File Or Directory

Applies to:
Zend Guard 6
Linux

Problem

When trying to execute Guard 6.0.0 /bin CLI commands, you might get the following error:

$ ZendGuard-6_0_0/bin/zendenc53
ZendGuard-6_0_0/bin/zendenc53: line 5: ZendGuard-6_0_0/bin/../plugins/com.zend.guard.core.resources.linux.x86_6.0.0/resources/zendenc53: No such file or directory

Technical

Guard package actually contain 2 resource directories:

Working: ZendGuard-6_0_0/plugins/com.zend.guard.core.resources.linux.x86_6.0.0.201305051318/resources

Empty: ZendGuard-6_0_0/plugins/com.zend.guard.core.resources.linux.x86_6.0.0/resources

When Guard /bin wrappers, such as /bin/zendenc54 are parsing internal resource dir, both are found, but the Empty one is actually used.

As a result, you get a No Such File Or Directory error.

Solution

Simply rename the empty directory or - delete it, so only the working path would be found.

mv ZendGuard-6_0_0/plugins/com.zend.guard.core.resources.linux.x86_6.0.0 ZendGuard-6_0_0/plugins/com.zend.guard.core.1resources.linux.x86_6.0.0

Another approach to run the Guard 6.0.0 CLI tools natively on your syste, would be to add "ZendGuard-6_0_0/plugins/com.zend.guard.core.resources.linux.x86_6.0.0.201305051318/resources/" to your $PATH.
