What about running $ mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group so you don't get this message? > I don't know if this may affect the > result, but should not, as I can run the other successful binary. > > I was guided to run "strace" along with the call to the erroneous binary > and the output is pasted below. The problem binary is called > "FLEXPART_GFORTRAN" Can anyone see what's wrong in the strace log? No. What the strace shows is that bash does not even try to fork and then exec FLEXPART_GFORTRAN. Rather, it just opens the file, reads the first few bytes and then prints the error message: > 4514 125618 [main] bash 536 open: open (./FLEXPART_GFORTRAN, 0x0) > [...] > 25 126365 [main] bash 536 open: 3 = open (./FLEXPART_GFORTRAN, 0x0) > 209 126574 [main] bash 536 isatty: 0 = isatty (3) > [...] > 25 126623 [main] bash 536 lseek64: 0 = lseek (3, 0, 1) > [...] > 24 126710 [main] bash 536 readv: 80 = readv (3, 0x28CA34, 1), errno > 0 > 458 127168 [main] bash 536 open: open > (/usr/share/locale/locale.alias, 0x0) > [...etc...] For some reason which isn't visible in the strace, bash doesn't even close the file anymore. What does `file FLEXPART_GFORTRAN.exe' print?
