unable to run executable on mounted partition

I have an image mounted in the following way in fstab:

In a specific folder on the mounted image I have the following files with the following permissions:

When I try to execute the baldursgateii executable I get an error, and I totally can't understand how I can be getting this error:



fbence@localhost:~/mounted/modbox/bg2ee/game$ ./baldursgateii 
bash: ./baldursgateii: No such file or directory


The image and the setup was copied from another computer running the same Ubuntu 18.04 as the current computer. The file is clearly there, I actually use the bash tab autocomplete to type the filename yet it still says there's no such file ... What is wrong here?

  • Upon second glance over the files, you are missing a lib file there as well. Also, do you know how it was installed on the other system? Did it require like Wine or PlayOnLinux or Steam? Everything I can see doesn't have a Linux port of the game.

    @fbence that is very suggestive that you are in fact trying to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, without the necessary 32-bit shared library support. Please install the 32-bit libc package (sudo apt install libc6-i386) and then try again. See for example ldd 32-bit exe / 64-bit OS .

When a file that you know to be a binary executable fails to run, with a No such file or directory message, it's often because of issues with shared libraries.



In some cases, it's because one or more shared libraries is missing. Running



ldd ./baldursgateii


(for example) should help identify which one(s). On the other hand, if ldd itself fails with the unhelpful (and incorrect) message



not a dynamic executable


then that's likely a sign that you are trying to run a 32-bit executable on a system that lacks even the 32-bit dynamic loader, as discussed in ldd 32-bit exe / 64-bit OS



To obtain the missing 32-bit loader in a current multiarch 64-bit system, you should install the libc6-i386 package:



sudo apt install libc6-i386 


From apt show libc6-i386:




Description: GNU C Library: 32-bit shared libraries for AMD64 This
package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the
standard math library, as well as many others. This is the 32bit
version of the library, meant for AMD64 systems.




As well as the 32-bit loader, this installs a minimal set of 32-bit libraries: if the program still does not execute, run ldd ./baldursgateii again to check for other specific unmet library dependencies.

      When a file that you know to be a binary executable fails to run, with a No such file or directory message, it's often because of issues with shared libraries.



      In some cases, it's because one or more shared libraries is missing. Running



      ldd ./baldursgateii


      (for example) should help identify which one(s). On the other hand, if ldd itself fails with the unhelpful (and incorrect) message



      not a dynamic executable


      then that's likely a sign that you are trying to run a 32-bit executable on a system that lacks even the 32-bit dynamic loader, as discussed in ldd 32-bit exe / 64-bit OS



      To obtain the missing 32-bit loader in a current multiarch 64-bit system, you should install the libc6-i386 package:



      sudo apt install libc6-i386 


      From apt show libc6-i386:

      package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the
      standard math library, as well as many others. This is the 32bit
