Can't execute binary?
Hi, I've just installed wheezy/KDE on a spare machine, to see what we're getting. All seems OK, apart from one mystery: I installed a copy of Firefox-18.0.2 in /usr/local, with a symlink pointing to it, as I have done in Squeeze and earlier for years. Typing /usr/local/firefox/firefox always used to start it with no problem. However, on the wheezy box, I'm getting: --- tony@tony-dlt:~$ /usr/local/firefox/firefox bash: /usr/local/firefox/firefox: cannot execute binary file --- Well, WTF, as they say. Does anyone know of a change that causes this?

Does anyone know of a change that causes this? Is the copy of firefox the same architetcture of the spare machine? Aren't you trying to run a 64bit executable in a 32bit machine? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
