What's the output of file `which amule`?

[LucaTNT]

Code: [Select]

# file `which amule`
/opt/usr/bin/amule: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1, for GNU/Linux 2.6.12, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
# amule
/opt/usr/bin/amule: /opt/usr/bin/amule: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

[LucaTNT]

Couldn't it be due to the different kernel?
File says that it is "for GNU/Linux 2.6.12", while my kernel is 2.4.22-xfs

[wuischke]

Yes, this is very well possible.

[LucaTNT]

I found out how to make aMule's configure script find zlib, I had to use the --with-zlib=/opt parameter, now I'm compiling some dependancies, let's see if it works...

No, it is not. Kernel version is irrelevant. libc version - is important.

[wuischke]

According to my understanding, there are various kernel API changes/extensions, which will prevent software using these new extensions on running on an older kernel. I didn't consider that these are abstracted through libc and aMule is unlikely to directly call these functions. Please excuse my misleading information.

[lfroen]

Generally, as a "rule of thumb", executable created on system with different major kernels (2.4 vs. 2.6) will not be compatible, due to incompatible libc's on accompanying those kernels.
