Answer 1

your compilation option -c makes your compiling just compilation and assembly, but no link.

Answer 2

To execute a binary or .run file in Linux from the shell, use the dot forward slash friend

 ./binary_file_name

and if it fails say because of permissions, you could try this before executing it

 chmod +x binary_file_name
 # then execute it
 ./binary_file_name

Hope it helps

Answer 3

The volume it's on is mounted noexec.

Answer 4

:-) If not typo, why are you using ./commonRT instead of ./commonKT ??

Answer 5

To execute a binary, use: ./binary_name.

If you get an error:

bash: ./binary_name: cannot execute binary file

it'll be because it was compiled using a tool chain that was for a different target to that which you're attempting to run the binary on.

For example, if you compile 'binary_name.c' with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc and try run the generated binary on an x86 machine, you will get the aforementioned error.

Answer 6

Or, the file is of a filetype and/or architecture that you just cannot run with your hardware and/or there is also no fallback binfmt_misc entry to handle the particular format in some other way. Use file(1) to determine.
