cannot start program

Hi,

very stupid problem but I cannot find solution.
I installed a program to make and order a photobook.
The program installed fine using a script from the photobook website.
BUT : I cannot start the program.
The installer made a shortcut on my dekstop but this doesn't work, it says :
There was an error launching the application.
Details: Failed to execute child process "/home/kristof/Delhaize/Delhaize Fotoservice/Delhaize Fotoservice" (No such file or directory)

This is the content of the command-line in the shortcut : "/home/kristof/Delhaize/Delhaize Fotoservice/Delhaize Fotoservice"

The program is called "Delhaize Fotoservice" and really does exist in the directory above.

Short output of "ls -al" of /home/kristof/Delhaize/Delhaize Fotoservice/

total 116380

...

I tried :
- doubble clicking in nautilus : no reaction, no fault message
- typing : "./Delhaize\ Fotoservice" but I get the fault message :" bash: ./Delhaize\ Fotoservice : No such file or directory"

I tried this as normal user and root.

My system :
fully uptodate Arch 64 bit system

It frustrates me not being able to do a simple job as starting a program.
Can anybody help me with this?

Greetz.

Re: cannot start program

You get "No such file or directory" error when trying to use a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system or vice-versa.
What's the output of 'file /home/kristof/Delhaize/Delhaize\ Fotoservice/Delhaize\ Fotoservice'?

Re: cannot start program

Delhaize Fotoservice: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=0xa71035145f475f761f62b303b989deb85dd540a2, stripped

According to the website from the Photobook-software it should work on 64 bit.
I'll guess I need to find another photobook-supllier or is there a way to make it work?

Re: cannot start program

I think you need to use multilib: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib

Re: cannot start program

I already enabled this repository.
But what do I need to install as I don't install the software with pacman?
I think the photobook software is only using its own libraries.
Probably the only solution is to install a 32 bit Arch in a virtual machine.
My computer has enough horsepower and memory but it is kind of a stupid workaround.
If nobody has a solution I'll mark this as solved.
Thanks anyway Karol!!!

Re: cannot start program

I'll try it tomorrow.
It doens't say anything about 32 or 64 bit.

Re: cannot start program

I tried to install this PKGBUILD but it won't install because my system is 64 bit!

I also tried to install Virtualbox.
This works but this gives new problems :
- USB-warnings (even though I put the extra file in my fstab)
- no VTx-support (even thoug my CPU supports it and it is not disabled in bios)
- Linux mint 32 bit crashes during install in virtualbox
- virtual-box additions don't want to install.

I think I will give up making a photobook for my wife!
