I'm having this issue on Bash for Windows, but so far as I know it works by essentially making a Ubuntu VM.



I have a program which I'm trying to run, as one does with programs. It's called minion. However, I get the following when I try to run it:



user@my_pc:~/savilerow-1.6.4-linux/bin$ ./minion
bash: ./minion: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error


What the heck is going on? Below is the information that seemed relevant about the file. Let me know if you need more information than I gave. Yes, I'm running this on a 64 bit machine. Unless the Linux subsystem for Windows somehow simulates ARM?



user@my_pc:~/savilerow-1.6.4-linux/bin$ file minion
minion: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped

user@my_pc:~/savilerow-1.6.4-linux/bin$ ls -l
total 7296
-rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 7470932 Feb 2 2016 minion

user@my_pc:~$ uname -a
Linux my_pc 3.4.0+ #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 1 17:06:05 CST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • Usually that means that the binary you're trying to execute is compiled for an architecture different from the one you're running on. Add the output of uname -a to your question; that might be helpful. Where did minion come from?

  • minion was provided by my professor - it's packaged as part of the Savile Row constraint solver, but when I download it independently it still doesn't work. savilerow.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/releases.html

  • There have been bugs in WSL's ELF parsing. It's possible you're hitting one of those, or a new one. If it happens on the newest fast-ring release I suggest filing a bug.
