Summary :
When attempting to launch an executable binary on Linux, encountering the "Cannot execute binary file" error typically suggests a platform incompatibility. This issue can be diagnosed by confirming the hardware platform using the command 'uname -m'. Depending on the result—i.e., i386, i586, i686 (32 bit), x86_64, ia64, ppc64, or s390x (64 bit)—one must ensure the executable matches the platform's architecture. Use the 'file ' command to verify the binary's intended hardware platform. If discrepancies arise between the system architecture and the binary's format, obtain or compile the appropriately configured version of the executable.

Key words :
elf 64-bit lsb executable, file /bin/ls output, intel xeon em64t 64bit, '/bin/ls' file, -mentioned 'uname' statement, execute binary file, intel-compatible cpu, ibm zseries            sap, terms linux reason, ibm power processor
