i've been trying to run a small game called barrel patrol with redhat 8. whenever i run the binary i get something along the lines of....

bash: ELF: command not found

i tried running 'ELF', same thing. i believe ELF is part of GLIB, which i have installed/updated via RPM to no avail. now i am lost.

any thoughts? :confused:

ELF is a file format,common to most linux platforms,Executable File Format. If you accquire the source of the game and compile it, the successful result should be a file format that your machine supports.

since posting the above i've recompiled my kernel, now up to 2.4.20, making sure to set up elf when configuring (using xconfig). still i am having no joy.

the program i'm trying to get working is 'mupen' (an N64 emulator). i have downloaded the source code and compiled it no problem but still i get a message something along the lines of.....

ELF : command not found

i am at a loss now any :confused:, any suggestions would be appreciated.

many thanks,
