Environment: CentOS 7.1 64-bit using Intel i7-4771 Gnome 3 shell
I downloaded the Aardvark Control Center (Total Phase) and tried to execute the controlctr bash file, however I received the error message "Unable to execute application". I am not sure the problem is with the vendor, Total Phase, but rather I am thinking the issue is with something in Linux.
I searched the web and came up with this link for troubleshooting. The forum post was quite helpful. Aardvark Control Center is a 32-bit application, which in this case will run on a 64-bit i7 build of CentOS 7. The command "file controlctr.bin" shows a standard ELF format. I am copying and pasting from the forum post, but the actual line was similar, if not identical.
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped
"$ldd controlctr.bin" shows lines very similar to the forum post, namely
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb76fe000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0xb76e4000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0xb7566000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb771f000)
I ran strace -o controlctr.bin.
The log shows that the problem is a missing tls sub-directory off of the Linux directory. In particular, the loader tries to find quite a few SSE2 libraries, which of course do not exist in the ZIP file. The log is littered with "No such file or directory" error messages on each of the SSE2 library calls; hence the eventual error message. Here is the relevant portion of the log file.

I searched the web for those libraries and help on this issue, but came up empty. I do know that SSE2 is a function of newer processors, which include the Intel i7 CPU, which is probably why the controlctr.bin file looks for those libraries.
I did find this SSE2 question on the U&L forum.
To answer the questions posed on the SSE2.
