xpdf

I'm trying to run XPDF on a linux (probably red hat) OVH shared server.

I've managed to have ftp ssh access and put the 64 bits binaries onto a folder.

The problem is : even though the files are there with the right permissions, if I try running it I'm getting a file not found problem (I'm thinking about a missing link..)

Long story short :

jurisedi@ssh1:~/xpdf$ file pdftotext
pdftotext: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

jurisedi@ssh1:~/xpdf$ ./pdftotext
-ovh: jurisedi@ssh1:~/xpdf$: No such file or directory

Any ideas ?

XPDFs pdftotext converts pdf to text and outputs it at command line level.
