Why am I getting the following error?

  • The error is (probably) from the linker...Is the file binary? If so, what is the output of readelf -l seamonkey; if it's a script, add it's contents to your question... – heemayl May 24 '17 at 03:03
  • readelf -l seamonkey

  • Can you try this one please and add output either to your question or to paste.ubuntu.com (in fact, please just add things to your original post. The comments don't allow for proper formatting of text at all) LC_ALL=C find -type f -iname "*seamonkey*" -printf "'%P'\n" Just a hunch, maybe there's special characters in the filename. Consider also trying find -type f -iname "*seamonkey*" | hexdump -C – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy May 24 '17 at 03:15
  • I don't know how to "add output to question".# LC_ALL=C find -type f -iname "seamonkey" -printf "'%P'\n" 'seamonkey' 'seamonkey-bin' 'chrome/icons/default/seamonkey.png' – David May 24 '17 at 03:26
  • Add all the outputs the your question, not on comment... – heemayl May 24 '17 at 03:35
  • @David look below your post. There should be 3 buttons in your view: share, edit, and flag. Click the edit one – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy May 24 '17 at 03:36
  • Does the file /lib/ld-linux.so.2 exist? – heemayl May 24 '17 at 03:43
  • Run ldd ./seamonkey, that should list missing required libraries, if any – muru May 24 '17 at 03:46
  • File ld-linux.so.2 does not appear to exist. I'm just following installation instructions as given on the seamonkey web site. It that doesn't work I'm done with seamonkey. – David May 24 '17 at 03:49
  • Your readelf output indicates a 32-bit executable, if you're using a 64-bit system, see linked duplicate post. – muru May 24 '17 at 03:56
  • Bingo muru! I just downloaded 64-bit version of seamonkey and it works. Thanks! – David May 24 '17 at 04:06
  • How come it's so easy to install apps on Windows and so hard on Linux? Will it ever be fixed? – David May 24 '17 at 04:14
