cannot execute binary file on a selfx file

brucifer · 12-12-2005, 10:52 AM

I am trying to install HP's JetAdmin software on our Red Hat AS 4 version 2.6.9-11.EL. It is running on a Dell 7250 Itanium server.

I downloaded the file from artwork.com and moved it to /tmp. I attempt to execute it(./hpwebjet_linux.selfx) and get "cannot execute binary file".

I've changed the file permissions to 500, 555, 700 and 777 but get the same message.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, and welcome to LQ!

Cheers,

The site I downloaded the file from didnt have any troubleshooting info on the installation instruction page. I e-mailed the site but did not receive a response from them.

I also tried to download a driver from HP that is for Fedora Core 4 Linux. I get the same error when I try to run the installation script (wja80-3366-f3-2.selfx). HP support also didnt respond to my questions.

One thought that a collegue had was that these that I am downloading are designed for 32 bit Linux, and we are running 64 bit.

Im just guessing that there are release notes within the selfx file, but I need to be able to run it to get to them.

I appreciate your assistance!

Did you try to run the command I suggested?

Code:

file hpwebjet_linux.selfx

Please post the result, and your colleague may well be right.

Cheers,
