Your uname says you are running a 32-bit system (686 is 32 bit).  The
output from the file command says it's a 64 bit executable.  You can run
a 32 bit executable on a 64 bit system, but you can't run a 64 bit
executable on a 32 bit system.


Yes, I see that now.  I thought I was running 64 bit.

fred@ragnok:~$ lscpu
Architecture:        i686
CPU op-mode(s):      32-bit, 64-bit
This seems to say the cpu will run 64 bit software.

I suspect (so I'm not sure) that that this means you've got a cpu that
is physically capable of running in 64 bit mode, but you installed a
in i686 operating system so only the 32 bit mode is actually available
to you.  It would be interesting to run uname as
uname -a
and see what it tells you.  In my case I get
Linux snowball 5.8.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.8.10-1 (2020-09-19) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

I'll hazard a guess that the places that say amd64 and x86_64 will say
things related to i686 instead.

You are correct of course.  I thought I was running 64 bit but I was wrong.

fred@ragnok:~$ uname -a
Linux ragnok 4.19.0-12-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) i686 GNU/Linux

I have abandoned trying to run the 64 bit clipgrab binary blob. youtube-dl is working now and I plan to install the 64 bit version of Devuan when I have time.

Best regards,
Fred
