Re: Installing Blender software
Is it absolutely necessary for you to run the latest Blender build?
If not, then it is suggested to use the version of Blender that is available in the Ubuntu Software Center, coz that has been tested by Ubuntu and is a stable version.
If you are trying to run the Executable from the tar.gz you have downloaded then right click on the File and see under properties if the permission is set right i.e. it is marked as executable.
See if that helps.
But using a latest buils for someone new to Linux is not advisable as you can run into errors that you may not be able to fix.
Hence, again I mention, use the version of Blender available in Ubuntu Software Center.
P.S.: blender.org says that latest version 2.70 requires glibc 2.11, if that is not installed in 13.10, you will not be able to run it.
