Vadim-

Did you configure and re-compile the kernel that you are running? I don't know if IA32 was configured into the binaries on the CD. Make sure that `CONFIG_IA32_SUPPORT' is turned on.

Another problem could be with dynamic libraries. The simplest solution is to use the `-static' flag to create a static program. If you want to run dynamic binaries you need to make sure that all the IA32 dynamic libraries are installed on your IA64 box in a separate directory and then have the environment variable `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' point to that directory.

Let me know if either of those don't solve your problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to run ia32-linux binaries on a ia64 machine with 64-bit kernel from Linux Word CD, and I get: "file not found" error. Are there any patches to install?
The program is a simplest "hello world".

Vadim-

ld-linux.so.2' should not be a problem. Since the path to this library is hardcoded I modified the ELF32 code inside the kernel to check for this file and change the path to /lib/i386'. As long as you put all of your IA32 dynamic libraries in `/lib/i386' you should be OK.

If you can send me a copy of your binary I can try it on my machine and see if I can see what the problem is.

Thank you for your advice.
Using "-static" solves the problem with "hello" app. But I can't use this option with my real-life app.

So I proceed with dynamic option. I copied all the .so from "ldd" output into my LD_LIBRARY_PATH on IA64. I still have "file not found" error. One thing that I noticed is that path to /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is hard-coded inside executable. On IA64 system that points to IA64 loader. May be that is the problem?

The /lib/i386 directory was missing on my machine!! Once that I copied system libraries there it started working!! Thanks, Don
