I have downloaded a commercial fax program (free version, for evaluation). It is in binary (i.e. *.bin). I have permissions set to execute (100755).
It will not run, even as "sh primafax_l.bin". strace gives me the following (in part - hope the wrapping does not confuse): open("primafax_l.bin", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4 ioctl(4, TCGETS, 0xbffff79c) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) _llseek(4, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0 read(4, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\260\200"..., 80) = 80 write(2, "primafax_l.bin: primafax_l.bin: "..., 59primafax_l.bin: primafax_l.bin: cannot execute binary file ) = 59 exit_group(126) I presume it cannot find the proper tty. At the moment I have ttyS0 and ttyS1 designated elsewhere, so this may be the problem. I tried to set them to mgetty through inittab, but this had no impact. I'd be grateful for any ideas. Google, so far, has been un-helpful.
