[SOLVED] Dynamically linked executable not found by bash but runs using dynamic loader directly

Thank you jefro for the welcome.

The question was that:

Running

Code:

$ ./program

would return error

Code:

-bash: ./program: No such file or directory

But running

Code:

$ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ./program

would work.

'program' was assembled with as(1) and linked with

Code:

$ ld -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so -lc -o program program.o

I had found similar questions but the only answers that were close to relevant were that the binary was 32 bits but the system was 64 bits. But in my case, the system is 32 bits and the binary was assembled and linked on it.

I noticed that in linking, I used

Code:

/lib/ld-linux.so

i.e. without the trailing '.2'.
