I'm trying to run /usr/local/bin/elm using the ash shell provided by Busybox.

It exists, and it's executable:

$ stat /usr/local/bin/elm
  File: /usr/local/bin/elm
  Size: 19573124    Blocks: 38232      IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 105h/261d   Inode: 8727197578  Links: 1

But the shell doesn't care!

$ /usr/local/bin/elm
sh: /usr/local/bin/elm: not found

file /usr/local/bin/elm shows

/usr/local/bin/elm: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=0a47662114da38e9a617def32f36be6c7c09dc64, not stripped

and uname -a gives

Linux dullbanana 4.20.69-ish iSH 1.2.1 (165) Jun  1 2021 00:45:30 i686 Linux

How do I run /usr/local/bin/elm?

Is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 present on that system? What does ls -lL /lib/ld-linux.so.2 say? – fra-san Jul 03 '21 at 12:59

Also, what about file /bin/ls (or file $(type ls | awk '{print $NF}') if that first one fails) – Chris Davies Jul 03 '21 at 13:07
