Cannot execute binary file on linux.

[Aleksanderus]

When I try to open zandronum on terminal I get this error: ".: zandronum: cannot execute binary file"

Btw. I followed install instructions correctly.

My guess is you installed the 64-bit version on a 32-bit system. Please post the full command used to run zandronum, and the full error message or the best we can do is guess.

[Aleksanderus]

I don't have got 32-bit system and I even tried the 32-bit version of Zandronum and still nothing.
Here's the full error message:
[aleksanderus@aleksanderus-pc zandronum2.1.2-linux-x86_64.tar-1]$ . zandronum
bash: .: zandronum: cannot execute binary file
[aleksanderus@aleksanderus-pc zandronum2.1.2-linux-x86_64.tar-1]$

And I'm not kidding that's EVERYTHING it says, belive me.

What's the output of uname -a?

[aleksanderus@aleksanderus-pc zandronum2.1.2-linux-x86_64.tar-1]$ . zandronum
bash: .: zandronum: cannot execute binary file

I see the problem, you are trying to execute command called "." with parameter zandronum.

Try running it using "./zandronum". Linux doesn't have the working directory in PATH for safety reasons. But if you want, you can add "." to PATH (using PATH=$PATH:.) and then be able to execute anything that is within current directory by just typing its command.

The dot as a command is a bash alias for the builtin command "source", which lets you run shell scripts within the same process.

Tried that and now there's a new error:

./zandronum: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Atleast I'm making progres!

[Sean]

What distro are you running? You need to install it's relevant package for libjpeg 6.2.

[Dark-Assassin]

Is there a quirk or problem with the license that prohibits libjpeg being packed with zandronum?

Also, if using Debian or Ubuntu or Mint, just install it via the drdteam repo.

[Aleksanderus]

I have got manjaro distribution. So... Am I fucked?

[Sean]

Not really. But seeing as you're running an Arch Linux-based distro you need to install libjpeg6-turbo from the AUR.

[Aleksanderus]

I installed it and still the same error. I think I need to move it somewhere... Maybe in the zandronum folder?

EDIT: Not working, I also tried pasting the file into share folder and lib folder and still nothing

[Sean]

Try installing zandronum2. I think the official binary distributions of Zandronum use the Debianisms of libraries.

[Aleksanderus]

Unfortunately I'm new to linux and I don't know how to install it.
Sorry for being so retarded!

FINALLY! Thank you, I can finally play zandronum again!
