Failed to run VNL

[hkuieagle]

hi,
I have a x86_64 version archlinux installed,and I have downloaded the x86_64 version of VNL. After extract the package,and run using "./vnl" in the bin directory. It gives me "No such file or directory"! What's wrong?

Version 2008.10? Odd...

In general, this kind of error indicates that the file does not have execution flags, at least not for the current user.

Anders Blom:
  It does have! Here is what the output of ls -l ,file and ldd:
ls -l:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hk hk 3338377 Nov 28  2008 vnl_exec

file vnl_exec:
vnl_exec: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

ldd vnl_exec:
   not a dynamic executable
Well file says it is  32-bit executable , and what's worse , ldd says it's even not  executable

[Anders Blom]

Hmm, something seems seriously wrong. Indeed, ldd should report the file as executable, even on a 32-bit system.

Which Linux is this on?

PS: You should not run vnl_exec, but vnl. I think you know that, but I just write it to avoid confusion for others.

I'm running Archlinux
uname -a :
Linux eagle 2.6.33-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 26 19:31:00 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Yes I know. When I run vnl directly,the same error occur:"/opt/vnl-2008.10.0/bin/vnl: line 3: /opt/vnl-2008.10.0/bin/vnl_exec: No such file or directory".
By the way, all the executable file in  path_to_vnl/bin/ include "assistant,lmhostid ,lmutil " behave the same. But files in path_to_vnl/atk/bin/  can be executed correctly.

So werid.....

[Anders Blom]

So it seems your Linux might not like 32-bit applications...

How about ATK 2010.02?

[hkuieagle]

Maybe,but I like... Haven't tried 2010.02 yet. Is there a newer VNL inside 2010.02?  I need vnl to view my stuctures.

[Anders Blom]

It's new, better - and different... Meaning, it's not 100% compatible with older VNL or ATK. Also, it doesn't read VNL files. Really, it's a completely new software platform, but it's the one we working on for the future, there is no more support for 2008.10 in terms of development.

Thanks.I'll give it a try.
