Question

I hope someone can help me with this 🙂

I am running Arch Linux and am trying to get a game to work (Penumbra Overture). I have downloaded the executable, checked the md5 and they match, installed it in a directory. However when I try to execute the file an error appears saying:

bash: ./penumbra.bin: No such file or directory

It does exist, I am in the right folder and it is set as executable:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 kumagoro users 6814000 Apr 15  2010 penumbra.bin

file penumbra.bin says:

penumbra.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped

ldd penumbra.bin says:

        not a dynamic executable

So, is this a problem with my distro or the application?

Thanks

You are missing the interpreter for the binary. Check with

readelf -a penumbra.bin | grep -i program.interp

what it wants.
