On my system I'm puzzled by a behaviour I cannot understand: Previously I did install an SDK in my user-local binary path and all the files are there. However bash returns "file not found" when I try to execute it although the execute bit is set. Any hints what could be the cause for this behaviour?

Quote from xterm:

~/bin$ ls -l powerpc-604-linux-gnu-g++
-r-xr-xr-x 2 planetmaker planetmaker 851784  1. Mär 2018  powerpc-604-linux-gnu-g++
~/bin$ ./powerpc-604-linux-gnu-g++
bash: ./powerpc-604-linux-gnu-g++: File or directory not found
~/bin$ file ./powerpc-604-linux-gnu-g++

    Is the executable for the correct architecture?

    Please use LC_ALL=C to show errors in English. Here, you can run LC_ALL=C ./powerpc-604-linux-gnu-g++ and then edit your question to show us the message.

  • It took me asking this question here to realize that. No, it wasn't the right architecture :)

The problem was the architecture. My system is a 64-bit system, yet the SDK is a 32-bit system. Debian allows multi-arch support (e.g. this answer here). After installing 32-bit support, the binaries work as expected.
