"bad ELF interpreter", What is wrong with my system?

Robert Chiu · 01-29-2014, 12:37 AM

I just install a new system ,centos 6.4, 64bit.

When I trying to run "source", the error occured. What is the problem? I never changed the "/etc/profile",just run "source" command.

Code:

[root@localhost etc]# source profile
-bash: /usr/local/spes/acc-1: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
[root@localhost etc]# source profile
-bash: /usr/local/spes/acc-1: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

of course, the following is the content of file :

[root@localhost etc]# cat /etc/profile
# /etc/profile

# System wide environment and startup programs, for login setup
# Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc

# It's NOT a good idea to change this file unless you know what you
# are doing. It's much better to create a custom.sh shell script in
# /etc/profile.d/ to make custom changes to your environment, as this
# will prevent the need for merging in future updates.

I can't find anything related, probably you have some scripts in /etc/profile.d?

[root@localhost etc]# source profile
-bash: /usr/local/spes/acc-1: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

The error message says that the file /usr/local/spes/acc-1, called by bash, is running into some kind of problem related to the library file /lib/ld-linux.so.2.

The script does not directly reference "acc-1" (and I couldn't find it on my system), so you may want to try calling profile with bash -x /etc/profile just to see what's really going on.

Also, the output from these commands may provide some clues:

Code:

file /usr/local/spes/acc-1
ldd /usr/local/spes/acc-1
file /lib/ld-linux.so.2

I do nothing, just a new system. All the config file is default. It is really strange. Any module was lost?

So try what was suggested in #5: bash -xv /etc/profile
