No Such File or Directory Error In Linux

I'm trying to update Sublime Text 2 editor from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 in my Linux Mint Virtual Machine. I removed old directory and untarred the new file into a directory. It appears to be ok, but when I run './sublime_text' I get a 'No such file or directory' error even though the file appears to be there. It has executable permissions, and I'm running it with sudo logged in as root. I can't figure out why it doesn't recognize the executable.

 mint10-dev64 etc # ./sublime_text

I was thinking this was an error because I was installing 32 bit. When I install 64 bit I get this error:

mint10-dev64 Sublime Text 2 # pwd
/home/devuser/Documents/Sublime Text 2
mint10-dev64 Sublime Text 2 # ls -la

You're getting the error because you're trying to run it as root. Run as user devuser (from within the /home/devuser/Documents/Sublime Text 2 directory) and it should be OK. I think your original error came from the fact that you were trying to run ./sublime_text from within the /etc directory, and it wasn't installed there. The ./ part of your command means "run the file named thus-and-such in the current directory".
