ELF executable exists but is not found

ELF executable exists but is not found

[Marco van Hulten]

Hi—

I would like to run a piece of proprietary software on GuixSD.  Would
the general, relatively secure, approach be to use "guix environment"
and make available with "--expose" what the program needs?

The program is the photo ordering software by CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA,
which is used by several large photo service companies in Europe.

There is a «Linux» (sic) version available (for instance, this Dutch
version):

https://www.cewe.nl/bestelsoftware/bedankt-voor-de-download.html?version=linux

After changing the perl path of the installation script, I come across
the issue that I cannot execute the binary:

$ file CEWE\ Fotoservice 
CEWE Fotoservice: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=445a455753ee3c12b60edbaa40209200e8d3a18d, not stripped
$ ./CEWE\ Fotoservice 
bash: ./CEWE Fotoservice: No such file or directory

What do you make of this?

I am sure that I will come across many more issues, like it expecting
software in LSB-compliant locations.  Any general pointers there are
also appreciated.

The Guix project does not provide support for proprietary software, so
you won't get much help about this topic on this mailing list, sorry.

That said, a similar issue was discussed recently.

Hope that helps! :)
