Which version of PhantomJS are you using? Tip: run 'phantomjs --version'.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download phantomjs-1.5.0-linux-x86-dynamic.tar.gz
2. Untar
3. link downloaded phantomjs binary to /usr/local/bin/phantomjs

The dynamic Linux package is not guaranteed to work everywhere. Please compile from source and see if it works.

The problem is that I can't run SUDO command because of the lack of privileges on my hosting plan. Is there a workaround for that?

I am having this problem too. Same steps. Linux, Fedora 9, using x86 binary.

Compiling from source crashes with:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQtWebKit
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../bin/phantomjs] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rschneid/phantomjs-1.5.0/src'
make: *** [sub-src-phantomjs-pro-make_default-ordered] Error 2

andy.gongea Why do you need sudo?

Initially I thought I needed. But after a lot of attempts I have failed to make it run on my hosting. Probably I will give it another spin when future releases appear.

Kudos for your effort and work.
Cheers!
