I downloaded Spriter for Linux 64bit then move it to usr/share/ and extract it. There is a file in extracted directory that is executable and can run by context menu >> run. I want to enable running that file for Guest user. In Guest Session I can browse to that directory but when I select run from context menu, application does not run. How I can solve this problem?

Edit:

Before I changed the permission of that file to be accessible for others for READ and WRITE.

You can see result of ls -l for that file:

ls -l Spriter
-rwxrwxrwx 1 myUserName myUserName 7102491 فوریه  7 18:56 Spriter

The result of ./Spriter in terminal is:

error while loading shared libraries:libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It's hard to to tell why something doesn't run, without knowing what it is. – mikewhatever Feb 13 '16 at 16:16
@mikewhatever I add more details to question, I downloaded Spriter for Linux 64bit – hasanghaforian Feb 13 '16 at 16:20
So, you've changed the permissions to rw but not x (execute)? Usually, x is required to run something. You may want to post the output of ls -l thatfile. – mikewhatever Feb 13 '16 at 16:28
@mikewhatever I add the result of command . Please see it . – hasanghaforian Feb 13 '16 at 16:35
@mikewhatever please see my edits again. – hasanghaforian Feb 13 '16 at 17:01

So, assuming libsteam_api.so is there and is readable, you can try export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/etc.... Not sure if guest is allowed to do it. – mikewhatever Feb 13 '16 at 17:50
Possibly this question is applicable. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Feb 13 '16 at 18:16

OK! libsteam_api.so is a file in the extracted Spriter directory and its permission for other users was unknown. I changed it to READ and WRITE. Now Guest can run Application. Thank you! – hasanghaforian Feb 13 '16 at 19:07
@mikewhatever, your solution worked for hasanghaforian, could you write an answer. – user.dz Nov 27 '16 at 11:58
