[vishal345]

Hello All,

I had tried to execute a bin file its giving me an error
-bash: ./mysqlmonitor-2.1.1.1141-linux-x86_64-installer.bin: cannot execute binary file

My steps for execution of it is as follows :

chmod +x filename.bin
./filename.bin

i even tried with
sh filename.bin

file filename.bin
here's the output : mysqlmonitor-2.1.1.1141-linux-x86_64-installer.bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, stripped

i am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

can any one please suggest how to execute this in command line...

waiting for you response..

Thanks in advance..

A couple of things to check:
The x86_64 in the filename mysqlmonitor-2.1.1.1141-linux-x86_64-installer.bin indicates this is a 64 Bit executable. Is your OS a 64 bit version?

Also, the mysqlmonitor-2.1.1.1141-linux-x86_64-installer.bin is compiled for linux 2.4.0, but your system is a 2.6.0 kernel, so you may need to install 2.4 compatiblity libraries.
Use the command: ldd mysqlmonitor-2.1.1.1141-linux-x86_64-installer.bin and look for any 'Not Found' libraries. If there ar e missing libraries, you will need to install the packages that contain the missing libraries.

Better still, you may want to look for a Linux 2.6 version of mysqlmonitor available.

Hope this helps.
