stable installed - (error reading rustc version)


I have trouble running rust in my linux box.

Here is my installation log:

>> curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
info: downloading installer

Welcome to Rust!

This will download and install the official compiler for the Rust programming 
language, and its package manager, Cargo.

It will add the cargo, rustc, rustup and other commands to Cargo's bin 
directory, located at:

  /home/linuxbox/.cargo/bin

This path will then be added to your PATH environment variable by modifying the
profile files located at:

  /home/linuxbox/.profile
  /home/linuxbox/.bash_profile

You can uninstall at any time with rustup self uninstall and these changes will
be reverted.

Current installation options:

   default host triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
     default toolchain: stable
  modify PATH variable: yes

1) Proceed with installation (default)
2) Customize installation
3) Cancel installation

Rust is installed now. Great!

To get started you need Cargo's bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin) in your PATH 
environment variable. Next time you log in this will be done automatically.

To configure your current shell run source $HOME/.cargo/env

I have set the the environment variable and my path shows the /home/linuxbox/.cargo/bin/cargo. However, when I type 'cargo` I am getting

>> cargo
bash: /home/linuxbox/.cargo/bin/cargo: Permission denied

.cargo and .rustup directory permissions are:

>> ll .cargo/ .rustup/
.cargo/:
total 16K
4.0K drwxr-xr-x  3 linuxbox linuxbox 4.0K Jan 20 10:13 ./

Permissions seem o.k but clueless why am I getting Permission denied error.

Could someone shed some light to help troubleshoot/fix this?

EDIT:

My distribution: Antix (Debian Based) and I am having a separate /home partition.


Solution

  • Managed to get that work by mounting my /home partition by adding the following line in the /etc/fstab

    /dev/sda4            /home/rusty            ext4            defaults            0  2
    

    Thank you guys
