Cannot start PhantomJS Error: spawn EACCES from Jenkins project

[deva-tm]

We are trying to run a Jenkins project on Linux. In that project unit test cases have to be executed on the Javascript code by a grunt task. For executing unit test cases we are using grunt-karma(0.4.6), karma-phantomjs-launcher(0.1.4) and phantomjs(1.9.7) module. When the grunt task is executed through the jenkins project shell script plugin we are getting the following error messages.

�[4mRunning "karma:continuous" (karma) task�[24m

Note:: The project and the grunt test task runs successfully on Windows 7 without any errors.The version of all the npm modules is also the same.

1. Are you running the process with the same user/permission set as the one that you use to install it?
2. Could you check if there are any old phantomjs processes running.
3. Can you start phantomjs using the same user as the jenkins script runs manually?
