Subject: Re: Why does: system("./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/feisty") not work ? It always fails without any error?

it is executable and working with 
system('sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/feisty')
system('./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/feisty | cat-')
but not with
system('./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/feisty')

and noone has any explaination for this behavior of system?
