The file exists... but "No such file or directory"

Question

linux

There is a file that is an executable binary (maybe I'm wrong with the definition, I had to deal with a non-core business), located in /usr/local/somedir/sbin. I look at ls -l - the file is there, but when I try to access the file I get “No such file or directory”. All actions under root, OS Debian 5 Lenny. Why can this be so?

Answer 1

Everything turned out to be much simpler - it turned out to be the wrong architecture ... It turned out to be on VDS i686, although uname -a showed x86_64 ...

Answer 2

Look
at ldd /usr/local/somedir/sbin/filename.
It is quite possible that he just lacks some kind of .so library thread

Answer 3

And it is even more likely that the file begins, for example, like this:
#!/usr/bin/someinterpreter
and this someinterpreter is not in the system :-) That's ten to one that it is.
> It is quite possible that he simply lacks a .so library thread
No, another abuse goes to the missing library.
> Most likely /usr/local/somedir/sbin is not in PATH
bash would say:
[~]$ asdasd
bash: asdasd: command not found


Answer 4

Something similar happened with python script:

$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bravebug users 386 Feb 21 00:40 myscript.py*
$ ./myscript.py
: No such file or directory

The problem was the type of line break - it was Win (CRLF)

Answer 5

Most likely it needs some other file to work.
Run strace /usr/local/somedir/sbin and look at the output.

Answer 6

I'm getting acquainted with Ubuntu, downloaded the latest version and decided to install Python on it and pay charm to it.
Gives an error: bash: ./paycharm.sh: No such file or directory.
Everything seems to be ls -l the unpacked file. Doesn't want to run.
