compiled binary file gives "cannot execute binary file"

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

I have two Solaris machines.

  1. SunOS X 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500
  2. SunOS Y 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

I am trying to buiild a project on both these machines. The Binary output file compiled on machine 2 runs on both the machines. Where as the binary output file from machine 1 runs only on that machine itself. :confused:

When i copy the binary file from machine 1 to machine 2 and try to run it, it gives me "cannot execute binary file" error. :mad:

On doing ldd <name-of-file> it gives me "execution failed <name-of-file>: Exec format error" :mad:

Running ldd on the same file and on the machine on which it was build, works fine and resolves the dependencies. :confused:

Does any one have any idea why this happeneing? :slight_smile:

I need to migrate from machine 2 to machine 1, but unable to do so cause of this error.

Regards
Sachin
