I need explanation about this on my 64-bit Xubuntu :

ldd /home/isa/Downloads/Fusion/Fusion
not a dynamic executable

But strace it : [...]libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[...]

ldd say it isn't dynamic, but strace shows it is ? Am I wrong ?

    Run file /home/isa/Downloads/Fusion/Fusion. It's probably for a different architecture, in which case, the tricks employed by ldd may not work without libc6 for that arch... – muru Feb 12 '17 at 15:51
  • file /home/isa/Downloads/Fusion/Fusion : /home/isa/Downloads/Fusion/Fusion: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped

    About libc6:i386, it is installed on my 64-bit system, that's why I don't understand...

    Thank you for your response

That would be bug 1616609 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1616609 -- ldd reports incorrectly "not a dynamic executable" when the executable's loader is not present . Do add yourself to the bug by clicking on the "Does this affect me?" icon. Basically, the fix is to add the 32 bit loader, /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.27.so, from package libc6-i386 so the ldd wrapper can use a working link loader.

  • Thank you ! I installed libc6-x32 but it is the same !

    dpkg -l package libc6-x32:i386 ... ii libc6-x32:i386 2.24-3ubuntu i386 GNU C Library: X32 ABI Shared lib but same problem : isa@isa-mini-PC:~$ ldd /home/isa/Downloads/temp/Linux/Fusion/Fusion not a dynamic executable

  • Try apt-get install gcc-multilib ... fixed it for me. – Erik Aronesty Aug 06 '18 at 19:56
