Error: Program is not executable after I launch client to interact with helloworld.sol

[gameuser1982]

So after a few hiccups I managed to compile helloworld.so

I then deployed that beast using:

solana program deploy ~/example-helloworld/dist/program/helloworld.so

So far so good:

Program Id: 8MCcSGEEALayT53wgLB8gLFaWyxDTV16xYWg7d89Dr4a

I install all dependencies using npm install

And I fire it up:

candid@DESKTOP-5D7VSM9:~/example-helloworld$ npm run start

> helloworld@0.0.1 start
> ts-node src/client/main.ts

Let's say hello to a Solana account...

What am I missing here?
