While there are comparable questions out there, I have not found a solution for this specific circumstance. And I admit that this particular question may be appropriate to only me; however, the question still stands in the general sense. Given a binary only, how do you determine which libraries it needs to run? The commands below are executing on:

chrisheady@linux:~/Dropbox$ uname -a
Linux linux 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The file in question is "lmgrd." When I try to run the executable this is what I get:

chrisheady@linux:~/Dropbox$ ./lmgrd 
bash: ./lmgrd: No such file or directory

I have tried to debug using a few easy Linux commands, such as:

chrisheady@linux:~/Dropbox$ ls -la lmgrd
-rwxrwxrwx 1 chrisheady chrisheady 1562496 Mar 1 2018 lmgrd

chrisheady@linux:~/Dropbox$ file lmgrd

  • Puzzled. What's wrong with ldd lmgrd, which you've included in your question? – roaima Jan 30 at 13:52
  • Sorry, @roaima, I don't understand what you're asking me. There may not be anything wrong with ldd lmgrd; however, I included the information as it may be helpful for somebody who knows how to debug the problem with executing lmgrd. If you can provide some additional context for your question, that may be helpful. – Chris Heady Jan 30 at 14:08
  • I notice your shell prompt appears to show the PWD as ~/Dropbox - are you actually working in a Dropbox folder? if so I wonder if the issue might not be related to library linkage at all? – steeldriver Jan 30 at 14:38
  • My puzzlement is because ldd lmgrd, which you suggested in your question, answers the question you've asked. ldd lists the libraries required to run the application. – roaima Jan 30 at 14:49
  • @roaima The only file I couldn't locate was ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3. So I created a symbolic link, i.e., "ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3". However, same problem, no such file or directory. – Chris Heady Jan 30 at 15:19

lmgrd requires the LSB (Linux Standard Base) to be present, in order to get that specific library. Install that, and it should work. (Say, apt install lsb.)
