I downloaded the ChromiumOS shell for Linux from here, unpacked it, and attempted to run chrome-wrapper. However, Bash tells me that the file chrome, a shared library according to Thunar, which is also in the same directory, is not found, yet I am staring at it in Thunar. It is also listed in ls and dir, and I can use cat to view it, even though it spits out garbage (of course). When I try to run chrome directly, bash once again tells me that the file is not found. Strangely, the File Manager app running on the same Android system as Linux tells me the file in question is 174 MB, while Thunar in Debian tells me it's 813 MB. I'm running Debian Jessie using fake root on ARM Android. Thanks.

Is `.` in your path? – Ulrich Schwarz May 02 '16 at 15:13

Yup. I have bash in the directory where all the Chromium files are. – GeoffreyS May 02 '16 at 15:33

It's probably a dynamic linker thing, please include the exact entire error message. – hobbs May 21 '16 at 22:44

Here's the exact error message: `bash: ./chrome: No such file or directory.` – GeoffreyS May 23 '16 at 15:04

That executable is a x86_64 executable, not a 32 bit ARM executable. You're getting that error because there's no /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 on your system. It can't work as amd64 and ARM are completely different CPU architectures with different instruction sets. – Stéphane Chazelas May 23 '16 at 16:04

If you want to execute something from your current location, you need to write ./ before the command. In your case ./chrome
Calling chrome directly would only work if the current directory is in the PATH environment variable.

1I am aware of that. I do call ./chrome either directly or by calling ./chrome-wrapper, which is in the same directory and is supposed to start chrome correctly. – GeoffreyS May 23 '16 at 13:36

The directories containing system libraries should to be referenced in /etc/ld.so.conf. (If you change those then call ldconfig to update the corresponding binary database.)
When you have per-application libraries stored elsewhere you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to one or more colon-separated directories containing these user libraries.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${PWD:-$(pwd)}"
./some_program

The file in question is not a system library. It is a file that I believe contains the Chromium OS shell compiled for multiple architectures. The executable `chrome-wrapper` is simply a script that starts the shell contained within the "library." – GeoffreyS May 23 '16 at 15:03

@GeoffreyS your question says that thunar identifies `chrome` as a shared library. I had answered on the basis that this was a correct identification. – roaima May 23 '16 at 16:06
