Question

When I exectued command to install application following error accured         lib ld-linux so 2  bad ELF interpreter  No such file or directory  I was not aware of how to fix this problem  to find out resolution I searched for solotutions on net and found following resolution   yum install glibc i686 or yum install glibc i386   But bad luck this was not worked at all  It was throwing the following error   Loaded plugins  fastestmirror  refresh-packagekit  security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process No package glibc i686 available  Error  Nothing to do   Again I tried to resolve this and got some solutions from net   Download glibc rpm packge for centos 6 and install them    I dowloaded following packeges   glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm glibc-devel-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm glibc-headers-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm glibc-static-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm glibc-utils-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm   And tried to install with following command   yum install glibc i686 rpm -U glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm rpm -ivh glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm   None of them is worked  Got following message    root demo tmp glibc   rpm -ivh glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm     error  Failed dependencies      glibc-common   2 12-1 80 el6 is needed by glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libfreebl3 so is needed by glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libfreebl3 so NSSRAWHASH 3 12 3  is needed by glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686   To resolve dependency problem tried to install  glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm   but again bad luck runs and gives error    root demo tmp glibc   rpm -ivh glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm error  Failed dependencies      glibc   2 12-1 80 el6 is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 0  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 1  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 1 1  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 1 3  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 10  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 2  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libc so 6 GLIBC 2 3  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libcap so 2 is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libdl so 2 is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libdl so 2 GLIBC 2 0  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686     libdl so 2 GLIBC 2 1  is needed by glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686   Can anyone please help me figure out how to resolve this   More Details  Operating System  centos 6 3 Yum installed packege list    root demo tmp glibc   yum list installed glibc Loaded plugins  fastestmirror  refresh-packagekit  security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Installed Packages glibc x86 64

You did not mention what the command was that you were trying to run that produced the error message. However, the bottom line problem is that you are trying to run and/or install 32-bit (i686) packages on a 64-bit (x86_64) system which is not a good idea. For example, if you were trying to run the 32-bit version of Perl on a 64-bit system, the result would be something like

perl: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

If you still want to use the rpm command to install the 32-bit versions of glibc and glibc-common on your system, then you need to know that you must install both of the packages at the same time and as a single command because they are dependencies of each other. The command to run in your case would be:

rpm -Uvh glibc-2.12-1.80.el6.i686.rpm glibc-common-2.12-1.80.el6.i686.rpm

I had the same issue  the following commands can resolve   sudo yum install  glibc-common glibc   mutual dependency  sudo yum install  glibc i686   the missing version

Missing prerequisites  IBM has the solution below   yum install gtk2 i686 yum install libXtst i686  If you received the the missing libstdc   message above   install the libstdc   library   yum install compat-libstdc    https   www-304 ibm com support docview wss uid swg21459143

These are the installation i had to run in order to make it work on fedora 22  -  glibc-2 21-7 fc22 i686 alsa-lib-1 0 29-1 fc22 i686 qt3-3 3 8b-64 fc22 i686 libusb-1 0 1 5-5 fc22 i686

yum install glibc i686   install this

User · Answer

As  borayeris said          yum install glibc i686   But if you cannot find glibc i686 or libstdc   package  try -         sudo yum search glibc   sudo yum search libstd   and then      sudo yum install  package

looks to me  yum install glibc i686  should have worked  Unless Peter was not root   He has the 64 bit glib installed  he is installing a 32 bit package that requires the 32 bit glib which is glib i686 for intel processors

[glibc] /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
