Can't execute binary install file...

I downloaded the Unreal Tournament 3 Linux dedicated server, and I can't seem to install it. The installer file is a bin binary, the filename is:

Code:

UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin

I chmod a+x'd it, so it's executable:

Code:

localadmin@server-204:~$ ls -l UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 localadmin admin 259026312 Feb 22  2008 UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin

But when I go to execute it, I get the following:

Code:

localadmin@server-204:~$ ./UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin
-bash: ./UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin: No such file or directory

And trying to run it with sh (which has worked for me in the past for other applications) fails as well:

Code:

localadmin@server-204:~$ sh ./UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin
./UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Running with an absolute path, sudo or as su root doesn't help, it just gives me a slightly different error. Ideas?

what do you get when you "file" it, i.e.

Code:

file UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin

it should tell you that it's some sort of executable. If it tells you otherwise, the file may be corrupt.

That's a serious error message when you have just ls -l'd it, apparently alright.

If I received that message, the first thing I'd do is fsck my filesystem.

Have you had an "unclean" shutdown recently?

localadmin@server-204:~$ file UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin
UT3-linux-server-02202008.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.18, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

So it seems like it is. HOWEVER, I'm running an amd64 system: could that be part of the problem?

I'm going to do a full fsck on my server when I get home in case that's the issue. It's inside a Xen DomU that this is happening, but everything both on the Dom0 and the other DomUs seems fine.

This could be part of the problem (and why I'm staying away from 64-bit distros).

But fsck is worth running.

Yet more layers of complexity..

.. Good luck!

Yea, this is the problem; just tried it on my laptop (8.10 x64) and the same error. Anyone know how to run a 32-bit bin in a 64-bit environment? This program isn't distributed in any other form that I can find so I'm stuck with this one...

EDIT: Well, I found my problem: I THOUGHT I had the ia32-libs installed, but apparently I didn't. Installed them and everything worked. Thanks guys!
