AWS : cannot execute binary file

Question

My server is a Amazon Linux AMI 64bits (2014.09-release-notes)

I compiled a program coded in C++ (gcc48-c++.x86_64 is installed) :

[root@ip-***-**-**-*** waveform_generator]# make
Compiled    [src/main.cpp] >> [src/main.o]
Compiled    [src/File.cpp] >> [src/File.o]
Compiled    [src/AGenerator.cpp] >> [src/AGenerator.o]
Compiled    [src/GeneratorSVG.cpp] >> [src/GeneratorSVG.o]
Compiled    [src/GeneratorCanvas.cpp] >> [src/GeneratorCanvas.o]
Compiled    [src/GeneratorPNG.cpp] >> [src/GeneratorPNG.o]
Compiled    [src/Header.cpp] >> [src/Header.o]
Compiled    [src/pngwriter.cpp] >> [src/pngwriter.o]
Built       [wfgen]

Now when I execute the compiled file "wfgen" the console return this message :

[root@ip-***-**-**-*** waveform_generator]# bash wfgen
wfgen: wfgen: cannot execute binary file

Environment :

[root@ip-***-**-**-*** waveform_generator]# uname -i
x86_64
[root@ip-***-**-**-*** waveform_generator]# file wfgen
wfgen: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=2e7c881c6fc10f12cdf49402edae1cc36b8d77a0, not stripped

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Thank you a lot :)

Answer 1

When you type

[root@ip-***-**-**-*** waveform_generator]# bash wfgen

I think bash expects wfgen to be a shell script. Instead you could directly type the program name at th e prompt

[root@ip-***-**-**-*** waveform_generator]#./wfgen
