When you do "ls -l /path/to/file" you will see the files permissions.
It should look like this "rxwr-wr-w root root filename"
r = read
x= executable
w= write
Do you see the "x" on the file?
Edit: Oops.. missed that you chmodded to 755...

Yeah, it returns something like:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root [date] [file]
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root [date] [file]

Did you use python? How are you trying to launch the program?
Did you use /usr/bin/python /path/to/file
(I am no expert either)

I'm using QT Creator, so it's written in C++. I then packaged it with MADDE. Installed it with admin permissions through XTerm, then tried to launch it using the menu (which only highlights the icon, nothing more), when that didn't work, i tried to launch the program by executing /usr/bin/truecryptgui (the location where the program is installed) as root.

The Section field in the control file must hold to there needs. I think their is a wiki about packaging and information about the section field.
I hope this helps!

And can you post the output of
dpkg -L <your_package>
I guess some files are missing in you .deb

Some time ago I started developing a front-end GUI for the truecrypt commandline util. My program is working pretty well, so I started packaging it for Maemo5. I couldn't find a real good tutorial that worked, so I tried a bit myself. I now have a .deb package (packaged with MADDE), which installs without problems. When I try to run the application from the menu, it never starts.
I also tried to run it straight from the /usr/bin, than I get a permission denied error. I also chmodded the program to 755, and root had all the necessary permissions, yet the program doesn't start even with root permissions...
I really hope that someone can help me with this problem, because it is becoming pretty annoying xD Because i'm sort of new to the developing on a UNIX system, please let me know what files i need to post, because I have no idea what you guys need as additional info.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
