`-bash: No such file or directory` When there is very mutch is file there

Question

I am trying to install sdr++, but I dont think that matters. after installing the nightly apt package on my rpi 4, I attempted to run the main bianary sdrpp but got a file not found error:

pi@sdr:~ $ /usr/bin/sdrpp
-bash: /usr/bin/sdrpp: No such file or directory
pi@sdr:~ $ ls -li /usr/bin/sdrpp
43166 -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 8144 Jul 23 23:58 /usr/bin/sdrpp

As far as I can tell there arent any strange chars (ѕ vs s, diffrent chars but look alike)
These two commands were exicuted shortly after one another, so its not like the file was suddenly created
Still happens after a restart
I think I got this same bug a long time ago trying to run rust in a replit, I never fixed it.
File reports it as a ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, BuildID[sha1]=c4fea3dbc91de8553d404ed70b214efe2a234f39, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped and im pretty sure that's accurate

Other info:

pi@sdr:~ $ uname -a
Linux sdr 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr  3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
pi@sdr:~ $ whereis sdrpp
sdrpp: /usr/bin/sdrpp /usr/lib/sdrpp /usr/share/sdrpp
pi@sdr:~ $ ls -li /usr/bin/sdrpp /usr/lib/sdrpp /usr/share/sdrpp
 43166 -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 8144 Jul 23 23:58 /usr/bin/sdrpp
/usr/lib/sdrpp:
[...]
/usr/share/sdrpp:

pi@sdr:~ $

( [...] indicates the output was manualy trimmed by me )

Does this answer your question? No such file or directory? But the file exists! — MechMK1, Aug 23 '23 at 21:40
I think this is relevant, because you are trying to run a 32-bit executable in a 64-bit system. — MechMK1, Aug 23 '23 at 21:41
@MechMK1 i suspect this may be an issue on part of sdrpp, as they ship a 32-bit exe that has mandatory 64-bit dependencies. — makerio, Aug 23 '23 at 22:39
What does /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 /usr/bin/sdrpp do? If it says /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 is not found, then you do not have 32-bit support. — rando, Aug 23 '23 at 22:39
@makerio Would compiling it yourself from source be an option? — MechMK1, Aug 23 '23 at 22:44
@makerio I would highly recommend compiling from source. The nightly build never worked for me, and it only took ≈ 20 mins on my system. However, I think this question belongs on the Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange. — rando, Aug 23 '23 at 22:47
@rando I'm so used to posting to Ubuntu i didn't even realize there was a rpi stack exchange. plus, I've been having even more trouble installing sdrpp on 32bit raspbian.
did you use 32 or 64 bit raspbian? — makerio, Aug 24 '23 at 01:37
As it seems you've solved your problem, please close this question. — rando, Aug 24 '23 at 13:10

to those coming from google, sorry as i don't have an answer for you.

this problem was circumvented by abandoning sdrpp for a similar program.

thank you to @rando for noting that i may have been missing a library (and i suspect that that was the issue), suggesting that i compile from source.
thank you to @MechMk1 for noting that i had attempted to run a 32 bit executable on a 64 bit machine.
