dynamic linker?

Hi,

Here follows a problem I ran into. I tried to use an 'old' software package cellstat. I got the package as a '.tar.gz', but it didn't seem to unpack properly (tar xvfz cellstat_linux.tar.gz):

OK, so far, some trouble, but I got the program itself and I copied it into '/usr/local/bin' (as it was recommended by the authors). I thought everythin would be ok, since I think the error only occurs with the samples, and the bins and docs are uncompressed properly.

If i try to run the program (cellstat), I get the following:

--
cellstat: can't load dynamic linker '/lib/ld.so nor /usr/i486-linux/lib/ld.so' --

I tried to make a link to ld-2.3.1.so (ln -s ld-2.3.1.so ld.so), but this didn't seem to change anything. I would like to know what's going on... and it would be even nicer if it's possible to solve this problem.

thanks a lot in advance,

Kurt Sys.

Links don't mean anything until root has run /sbin/ldconfig.
