It worked for me the first time, but after I posted the message I had to 
do the same thing too. 

If you don't want to have to do the echo every reboot you could add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf :

kernel.exec-shield = 0

I would rather do the echo command only when required, but newbies may
be uncomfortable poking values into the kernel, on a regular basis.

Have a nice day.
