bash complains file not found for existing sqlite3 executable
(1) By anonymous on 2022-03-07 20:06:57 [link] [source]
I get a strange file not found error when running precompiled sqlite3 binary:
/tmp/sqlite> ./sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000/sqlite3
bash: ./sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000/sqlite3: No such file or directory
But the file does exist:
/tmp/sqlite> ls -l ./sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000/sqlite3
-rwxrwxr-x 1 **** **** 1202884 Feb 22 19:19 ./sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000/sqlite3
I downloaded sqlite3 Precompiled Binaries for Linux listed at https://sqlite.org/download.html:
/tmp/sqlite> wget https://sqlite.org/2022/sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000.zip

Not sure if I am making some very stupid mistake or is the sqlite3 Linux executable is broken?

I just created directory /tmp/sqlite on my 64-bit Xubuntu system, and fetched and unzipped the archive just as you show, whereupon I could invoke sqlite3 just as you did and see its startup banner and prompt.
When, from that same directory, I enter:
file ./sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000/sqlite3
, I get this info:
./sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3380000/sqlite3: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 4.3.0, stripped
. I wonder what you see. I am guessing that your system is not configured to run 32-bit binaries, and that no interpreter will be listed in your "file ..." output.
If that is the case, you have 2 options: Install whatever package allows 32-bit binaries to be run; or get the source and build a 64-bit binary for your system. You may want to consult the docs on how to do that.
