OpenWrt Chaos Calmer r46693, kernel 4.1.5

When I try to run the executable file, then an error occurs "file not found". In previous versions of the kernel was no such problem, please help.

Try this:

[goflex@GoFLEX:/usr/bin 6%] ~ ls -la file
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         19397 Feb 12  2015 file
[goflex@GoFLEX:/usr/bin 7%] ~ ./file
Usage: file [-bcEhikLlNnprsvz0] [--apple] [--mime-encoding] [--mime-type]
            [-e testname] [-F separator] [-f namefile] [-m magicfiles] file ...
       file -C [-m magicfiles]
       file [--help]
[goflex@GoFLEX:/usr/bin 8%] ~ 

command ./file does not help to run file

use ls -la file to show the complete mode of file.

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root         32375 Aug 22 16:45 file

Looks ok to me.

This makes very little sense.  What is "file"?  Is it a shell script or a binary?  Does it have any contents?  The same thing obviously does not occur when you execute cd and ls, which are just executable files on your path.

I'm guessing this is not a valid executable on your system.  Read this and report back what you find:  http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linu … found.html

Did you compile "file" yourself?  If so, you should read the documentation about cross-compiling for OpenWrt.

Its a kms server. "File" compiled against uclibc. I tried to take the executable file from the folder "static" and it worked.

So the statically linked binary does work?  If so, OpenWrt was missing one or more dynamically linked libraries, and it was just a misleading error message.

I've not yet needed to cross-compile anything for OpenWrt yet, but I'll keep in mind to statically link in the future when I inevitably do need to compile something that links against non-standard libraries.

yes, it works fine
