Please run the following command in the arduino directory and paste the results here.
ls -l
head arduino
hexdump arduino
Here is my output so you can compare:

In short, make sure that:
1.- arduino script has 755 permissions
2.- make sure the arduino script starts with "#!/bin/sh"
3.- Make sure with hexdump that there are no DOS line endings in your script
Typically DOS line endings will produce that error: no such file or directory
Unix-like line endings need to be 0A in hex. DOS like line endings are
0A0D.
If you find this 0A0D sequence in the arduino script file I recommend that you completely erase this install,
and reinstall using linux only.
