I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
I've followed the instructions on the wiki:
Downloaded from the main page
Extracted everything
cd to the folder it was extracted to and typed ./namecoind it says: cannot execute binary file
If I do sudo ./namecoind then I get: ./namecoind: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Am I missing or doing something stupid?
Thanks

Yes.
Any chance you can do a 32bit version? I did actually try to compile it myself yesterday but without much success. I'm very new to linux and don't really know what I'm doing

You might need to set the permissions to executable on the namecoind file, try this (from the namecoin directory):
chmod +x namecoind

Thanks for the remark CoinMan, i've added the line to the wiki :
http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin (the +x should be applied with unzip a tar.gz, but just in case...)
